About LifeStraw

At LifeStraw, we recognize the undeniable intersection between the impact that we as a company have on the climate, the disproportionate impact that climate change has on many of the communities that we support, and our responsibility to protect and advocate for a healthier planet. We strive to create products from sustainable materials that offer healthy alternatives to more wasteful options such as single-use plastics. We also create sustainable packaging that avoids use of plastic and maximizes recyclability and composability. We are a Climate Neutral Certified Brand, measuring and offsetting our annual greenhouse gas emissions. In 2021, we committed to setting science-based targets, to not only offset but reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, even as we grow as a company. We are also active members of the outdoor industry and global community's fight against climate change through our membership in and partnership with various climate advocacy and policy organizations.

01 Measure

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

02 Offset

LifeStraw 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 LifeStraw to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

03 Reduce

LifeStraw 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.
