Climate Neutral Certified

We believe all businesses can and should be entirely carbon neutral. We cofounded Climate Neutral, a nonprofit that helps businesses measure, offset, and reduce their entire carbon footprint.

Scope 1, 2, and 3 Offset

We offset the entire carbon footprint our business activity generates, from resource extraction to finished product delivery - not just the parts that are convenient to offset. These are called scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions.

Historical Carbon Offset

We hired 3rd party experts to calculate our total historical scopes 1-3 carbon emissions from 2011 to present. We purchased verified offsets for all emissions, plus an additional 20%.

OIA Climate Action Core

Members commit to emission reductions and collaborative sharing of information and processes.

Committed to Science Based Targets

Climate Based Targets sets greenhouse gas reduction targets in line with latest climate science.

Recycled Textiles

Our primary bag fabric is a nylon/poly blend that uses 100% post consumer recycled polyester and 100% post industrial recycled nylon. To date, the equivalent of 3 million water bottles of recycled plastic have been used for our outer fabric with our partners at Repreve.

Recycled Aluminum

We continue to transition to a higher content of recycled aluminum across our hard goods supply chains.

Recycled Papers and Plastics

Our packaging uses recycled materials in its construction and is mostly recyclable, with plans to transition to entirely recyclable packaging by the end of 2021.

Thoughtful Recycling

We vet recycled materials for impact to overall carbon emissions before adopting. In many cases, recycled materials are the correct option, but in some cases the environmental impact may be greater than that of virgin materials.

Restricted Substances List

We’ve adopted the Bluesign Restricted Substances List (RSL), which specifies banned or restricted materials and exceeds many regulatory requirements. No bad shit in, no bad shit out.

BLUESIGN SYSTEM PARTNER

We're working towards Bluesign Certification by partnering with Bluesign to source sustainable materials across our soft goods supply chain.

Solution Dyed Fabrics

Over 60% of our fabrics are solution dyed through our partners at e.dye, a process that uses significantly less water and has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional dying processes.

Product Life Cycle

Products that last longer are better for the environment. Avoiding short-lived trends, using excellent build-quality, and an infrastructure for used gear help keep Peak Design products out of landfills.

Leather Working Group

We used leather that has received a gold rating from Leather Working Group.

Factory Code of Conduct

We adopted official standards for worker treatment, pay, safety, and conditions, and help our partner factories meet or exceed them.

Environmental Compliance Benchmarks

We are implementing new Environmental Compliance Benchmarks in our factories to track and mitigate our impact in areas including energy, carbon emissions, water, biodiversity, and waste.

3rd Party Audits

We invest in 3rd party on-site social & environmental audits to keep us and our factories accountable to meeting worker treatment standards.

Certified B Corp

We are a Certified B Corp which means we meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability to all of our stakeholders.
