Koozie Group and its sister company, IMAGEN Brands, announced that they have achieved CarbonNeutral company certification in accordance with the CarbonNeutral Protocol, the leading global framework for carbon neutrality. Koozie Group declared its intent in February to become carbon neutral on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
To achieve CarbonNeutral certification, Koozie Group has been working with Climate Impact Partners, a specialist in carbon market solutions for climate action. Koozie Group conducted an independent assessment of all Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions that it produced during 2022, as well as some Scope 3 emissions. In addition to taking actions to reduce its footprint through internal initiatives, Koozie Group has offset unavoidable emissions through projects that include supporting a forest conservation project that protects 460,000 acres of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The company selected this project specifically because of its large paper products portfolio.
“We are excited to have reached this milestone quickly,” said Koozie Group CEO Pierre Montaubin. “The groundwork we have been laying for the last several years really paid off. We chose to work with Climate Impact Partners because they have 25 years’ experience running some of the most innovative and largest voluntary carbon offsetting programs in the world. Working with them means all the projects we are supporting are independently verified, and have a real and positive impact on the climate.”
“We work with leading organizations to deliver action on climate change and create a more sustainable world,” said Emily Mileski, senior account executive at Climate Impact Partners. “Our joined-up approach helps organizations address their environmental impacts through high-quality carbon market solutions that also deliver positive impact for nature and local communities.”
The next step in Koozie’s carbon-neutral journey is to complete measuring its full Scope 3 emissions, which is a more involved task given the breadth of these emissions. The company is already pursuing internal measures such as moving toward using recycled materials in place of virgin materials wherever possible, to reduce its Scope 3 emissions.
