Swagger Achieves Climate Neutral Certification: A Greener Future.

At Swagger, we’re excited to announce that we have officially earned the Climate Neutral Certified label! This achievement marks a major step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. This Certification is awarded to brands that take actionable steps to measure, reduce, and offset all of their carbon emissions, and we’re proud to be leading the charge in this important area of climate responsibility.

What Does Climate Neutral Certified Mean?

The Climate Neutral Certified label is not just a badge—it’s a standard that reflects our dedication to the planet. To earn this certification, we worked closely with the team at Change Climate to measure the carbon footprint of our operations and implement strategies to reduce and compensate for our emissions.

This certification empowers us to make a meaningful difference by reducing our carbon impact and investing in sustainable solutions. It also enables consumers to easily identify brands that are committed to tackling climate change head-on.

A Deep Dive into Swagger’s Carbon Emissions

To achieve Climate Neutral Certification, we took a deep dive into the emissions created by our company. This includes everything from the energy we consume to the products we deliver. Here’s a breakdown of Swagger’s carbon footprint:

Total emissions: 633 tCO2e (this is roughly the same as driving 141 gas-powered cars for an entire year)
Emissions intensity: 0.1 kgCO2e per dollar of revenue
Scope 1 emissions: 65 tCO2e (direct emissions like office heating and fleet vehicles)
Scope 2 emissions: 278 tCO2e (indirect emissions from electricity consumption)
Scope 3 emissions: 289 tCO2e (emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, and other supply chain activities)

Taking Action to Reduce Our Impact

Earning the Climate Neutral Certified label is just the beginning. At Swagger, we’re committed to further reducing our carbon emissions. In the next 12 to 24 months, we’ve set the following actionable goals:

Packaging: We will reduce emissions from project packaging, fillers, and other paper products by sourcing at least 20% post-consumer or reusable materials by Q4 2025 (Scope 3).
Electricity: We’re launching an employee emission-reduction program for remote workers that will incentivize and fund energy-saving initiatives for their home offices by Q1 2025 (Scope 2).

These are just the first steps in our ongoing efforts to make a tangible impact on our carbon footprint.

Long-Term Sustainability Goals

We’re not stopping there! Swagger has also set long-term sustainability targets that align with global climate science, aiming to reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% by 2030.

This goal is part of our larger commitment to ensure that our operations contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

Compensating for Emissions: Investing in Carbon Offsets

In addition to reducing our emissions, we’re committed to offsetting the emissions we can’t eliminate. For the past year, Swagger has invested in high-quality, verified carbon credits to compensate for our 633 tCO2e of emissions. These credits support vital wind energy projects, which help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainable energy solutions.

We know that true sustainability requires transparency. That’s why Change Climate publishes a profile page for each certified brand, allowing you to track our emissions, offsets, and reduction action plans in real-time.
