## Sustainability story

At Nomad, we are passionate about wild places, adventures, and unspoiled nature. We've grown a lot since our first Kickstarter in 2012, expanding our product range, our internal team, and our company goals. Along with all this company growth, our carbon footprint and impact on the places we love has grown too. So we've decided that a big part of our mission going forward is to reduce our impact while leading the way towards a more sustainable future. From offsetting our carbon footprint to removing single-use plastic in our packaging, we'll keep pushing to implement sustainable solutions that aid in safeguarding our planet's future.
