LET’S BE CLEAR ABOUT CARBON

Measuring and fully understanding our carbon footprint is the first step to managing our impact. The majority of our carbon emissions come from manufacturing the devices that allow you to work, create, and play from anywhere. It’s important to us to be clear with everyone about how these emissions are generated and share ways in which we are working hard to improve and reduce them.

CARBON LABELING

THE FIRST STEP IN UNDERSTANDING IMPACT

What’s in a number? When it comes to carbon emissions, numbers tell the story of how much climate-impacting carbon is generated in the manufacturing process, the transport of the product to market, the energy it uses throughout its lifespan, and the way it is managed at end-of-life.

This full lifecycle carbon footprint is then labeled on our products. Why? Because, like calories on a nutrition label, placing a label on the product packaging and website allows you to make more informed choices about what you buy. It also holds us accountable and informs future design decisions. We’re working hard to reduce the product carbon footprint and you should expect to see a lower number with the next generation of that product.

Carbon Impact Label

MEET THE LABEL

We’ve begun placing product carbon impact labels on packaging and throughout our website. Products with a carbon impact number have undergone a detailed analysis to determine the total amount of carbon emitted during manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life. Eventually, all of our products will feature a carbon impact label.

What's Behind The Number

The number on our carbon impact label is an assessment of the total weight of CO2e emitted from a product over its entire lifecycle, from production and packaging to end of life, over a certain period of time.

WHAT’S IN A KILOGRAM?

Knowing a product’s carbon impact is important, but it doesn’t mean much on its own. To help you understand carbon impact, here are a few estimations of what 1, 5, and 20 kg of CO2 is equivalent to in everyday activities.

THE START OF SOMETHING BIG

As part of our commitment to transparency, one day, all of our products will feature a carbon impact label. With hundreds of products this takes time, especially when we work with external experts to ensure the data is validated.

Here is a selection of products that already have the carbon impact label.
