Peak Design Joins Climate Neutral For Net-Zero Carbon Footprint
New Non-Profit Helps Companies Achieve a Net-Zero Carbon Footprint
San Francisco (September 23,2019) –Peak Design is proud to announce it has joined Certified Climate Neutral, an independent and rigorous certification program that verifies a company has achieved net-zero carbon emissions for the entirety of a company’s downstream and upstream carbon footprint.
Climate Neutral, a non-profit organization that provides the Certified Climate Neutral label for companies that meet its rigorous standards, has a mission to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world by recruiting companies to publicly measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions, and provides a Certified Climate Neutral label to communicate to customers and stakeholders that they are taking immediate and comprehensive steps to reverse climate
change.
“For businesses to take responsibility for the carbon used in the production and operation of their goods and services is critical to helping solve our climate crisis,” said Climate Neutral Executive Director, Austin Whitman. “To have companies like Peak Design lead their industry peers into a new era of social responsibility, is incredible.”
Peak Design’s principal of offsetting its environmental impact made the decision to join Climate Neutral easy. “Peak Design values innovative solutions in achieving our environmental initiatives,” commented Annie Nyborg, Director of Corporate Responsibility and Community for Peak Design. “Climate Neutral mirrors this principle and we believe achieving net-zero carbon emissions should be the minimum standard for company CSR [Corporate Social Responsibility] programs. We’re excited to be among the first companies to participate.”

ABOUT PEAK DESIGN
Since 2010, Peak Design has been building innovative carry solutions with a simple overarching design directive: make the best things. The idea for our first product was born on a motorcycle trip through Southeast Asia and has since expanded to include a cross-functional ecosystem of bags, pouches, slings, straps, and clips. We’ve won applause along the way, but we’re most proud of the fact that we’re 100% crowdfunded and 100% employee-owned. We’ve raised $32.4 Million through 9 Kickstarter campaigns to become the world’s most successful crowdfunded company. This has allowed Peak Design to stay investor-free and focused on the things that matter most: designing great products, fostering happy employees, and taking care of our customers and the natural environment.
