## Sustainability story

There's no way getting around the fact that building a snowboard affects our environment. That's why sustainability is one of the cornerstones. Getting certified as climate neutral is one of many steps we've made to improve ours. Aside from offsetting our carbon footprint, longevity of product life and repairability comes an important second. Most of the climate-affecting energy consumption used for producing a snowboard is gone when you need to scrap it. That's why we almost over-engineer our boards and use repairable materials, extra thick edges, bases and top sheet materials and durable hardwoods, like ash in all of our cores. Our 4-year warranty is testament to the trust we put in to our snowboards and splitboards. We want our boards to die of old age so the longer you can ride it the better it is.

## Emissions (2025)

**Methodology:** Stranda Snowboards's inventory uses spending data to estimate GHG emissions. Stranda Snowboards attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate Project team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 377 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 377 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 378 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 378 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per unit of product — unit of product

## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — Assess suppliers for options with a focus on lower emissions. (source: Raw materials, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Switching to biodiesel for transports. Liter of consumed diesel for transport of sales and marketing staff. (source: Business travel, target: Q1 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to replace 70% of our cardboard boxes used for shipping to retailers with recycled alternatives. (source: Packaging, target: Q3 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions by limiting air travel for business trips inside Europe by prioritizing Zoom meetings and shifting to train travel whenever possible. (source: Business travel, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 2** — Review our electricity use and shift over to carbon free contracts with electricity generated from hydro, nuclear, solar and wind. (source: Energy at offices or controlled facilities, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Investigate the current hosting of our website and if needed shift to a green web hosting service for our website. (source: Software and servers, target: Q4 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Through partnership with our factory we plan to reduce the amount of waste by 4-8% in milling cores. (source: Operational waste, target: Q3 2026, completion: 25%)
- **Scope 3** — We will reduce the amount of carbon weave by 2.5% across products. (source: Raw materials, target: Q3 2026, completion: 10%)
- **Scope 3** — Work with manufacturers to transition all materials to find equally performing materials with lower carbon emissions while keeping technical performance and durability across the whole line of snowboards (source: Raw materials, target: 2027, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Implement a low-carbon distribution policy to limit airshipping by 35 percent  across d2c customers. (source: Downstream shipping, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
