About True North Gear

At True North, becoming Climate Neutral Certified means so much more than offsetting our emissions. We're also presented with the unique opportunity to work alongside our customers in this mission. Starting out as a small company that made recreational packs and moving to creating functional fire packs for wildland firefighters, being in — and protecting — the outdoors has always been a core belief of our organization, and a necessity for its culture. Our sustainability approach involves applying innovative ways to reduce, and recycle materials used for our products to help close the loop. We also donate 1% of our profits to American Forests and help plant tens-of-thousands of trees across North America each year which vastly improves the ecosystems they're in. In the words of our founder Alyx Fier, "Being Climate Neutral means being a good steward for our planet and for its future generations."

03 Reduce

True North Gear is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

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.
