What is Climate Neutrality
A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :
True North Gear achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for True North Gear's 2021 emissions
01 Measure
True North Gear measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.
GHG Protocol Scope 1
Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.
25 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 2
Emissions from electricity.
101 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 3
Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.
3,058 tCO2e
Total Carbon Emissions
The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
3,184 tCO2e
02 Offset
True North Gear invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables True North Gear to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

03 Reduce
True North Gear has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable True North Gear to emit fewer emissions in the future.
Mid Term Targets
True North Gear has committed to reducing 2021 emissions 50% by 2030.
This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Mid Term Targets
This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Reduction Actions
True North Gear is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.
Current Year Reduction Actions
01
What We’re Reducing
We plan to reduce emissions from our nylon consumption by reducing the weight of the nylon fabric used in our bags.
How We'll Reduce It
We will assess durability needs in our nylon bags, and swap out 1000 denier nylon for lower denier nylon in lighter-wear areas and products.
02
What We’re Reducing
We plan to reduce emissions from our natural gas office heating by auditing and improving our office’s heating efficiency.
How We'll Reduce It
We will conduct an audit of heating efficiency throughout the building. Fans, timers, electric heaters, and other modifications will be installed where necessary.
