Sustainability Story
The issues facing our planet require urgent action. That's why we're building awareness and consideration of our environmental impacts into the foundation of how we make gear. YAMA Mountain Gear was a founding member of the Climate Action Corps and a member of 1% For the Planet since 2019. We first estimated our greenhouse gas emissions for Scopes 1, 2 & 3 in 2021, and purchased Verified Carbon Offsets to balance those emissions. We also purchase RECs to ensure that our energy use comes from renewable sources. Currently, YAMA is focusing on reducing our Scope 3 emissions per unit of value added, and working towards B-Corps certification.
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
02 Offset
