THE GLOBAL THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
We believe that climate change is a real and growing concern facing our planet today. And we are part of the solution. Weāre committed to reducing our carbon footprint through forward-thinking energy reductions and efficiencies combined with cost-effective carbon offsets. That's why weāve partnered with Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) ā a nonprofit that empowers businesses to find balance with the environment.
CAUSE & EFFECT
Our climate troubles began as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Since then, carbon dioxide emissions in our atmosphere have continued to increase ā primarily from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. This, in turn, is having a dramatic impact on our climate, by warming and altering our weather patterns, melting glaciers, releasing stored methane deep from within permafrost, and rising sea levels. This is a looming environmental catastrophe.
Although the far-reaching impacts of climate change sound daunting, just a 2% decrease in emissions per year could make a real and lasting impact. This is why BEFās work to help businesses develop effective solutions to reduce their impact is essential.

WHY OFFSETS MATTER
We partner with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation to offset more than our entire carbon footprint ā to be in effect, "carbon negative." āāCarbon offsets are vehicles for paying to remove carbon from the atmosphere or prevent greenhouse gases from getting there in the first place by financing things like forest conservation or clean energy. For 2020, we funded verified projects through BEF to purchase 30,000 offsets. Thatās the equivalent of 66,138,678 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent, or 79,522,277 miles traveled ā and about 25 percent more than the company generated over the year.
HUMAN IMPACT, HUMAN SOLUTIONS

WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As an activist company focused on sustainability and social responsibility, we are always conscious of ways to reduce, offset, improve, and analyze the full life-cycle of our products. We're not perfect, but we want to help lead the way. We believe we an all do our part to reduce our impact.
