## Sustainability story

It is Peak Design's job to take responsibility for the impact we have environmentally and socially. This means understanding and accounting for a product's entire lifecycle, from complex supply chain to design that extends usefulness as long as possible. It also means policies and advocacy that aim to improve the lives of our employees, contractors, customers, and people the planet over. In additional to being Climate Neutral Certified, Peak Design is a Certified B Corporation and a 1% for the Planet member.

## Emissions (2025)

**Methodology:** Peak Design's emissions inventory uses a mix of spending and activity-based data. Peak Design attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 1 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 28 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 10 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 23,872 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 23,169 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 23,902 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 23,180 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per dollar of revenue — dollar of revenue
