About 686

As we have seen our snowpack, winters and overall climate shift over the past 30 years, we believe that informed decisions and hard work can help reduce our environmental impact so that the snow is just as deep for our grandkids as it is for us. Using specific and accurate tools and info, we have measured our impact on the environment and are actively using this data to identify alternatives and drive future development decisions. We're proud of the work we've done, but we know there is no finish line and that this is a long journey. Recently, we've challenged ourselves to do more, and to do it faster, so we've partnered with Climate Neutral to offset our past carbon and to reduce our future carbon footprint.

About the Climate Neutral Certification and Label
Wherever you see the Climate Neutral Certified label, it means the same thing: a company is leading on immediate climate action. Companies earn the label annually after completing Climate Neutral certification. The certification process is underpinned by our rigorous, peer-reviewed Standard. It requires all companies to measure, reduce, and compensate for all of their emissions from making and delivering products and services.

01 Measure

686 measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

02 Offset

686 invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables 686 to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

03 Reduce

686 is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
