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 :

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 Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

25 tCO2e

101 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

3,058 tCO2e

Total Emissions

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.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$38,845

True North Gear's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

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.

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

Current Year Reduction Actions

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.

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.
