Our Business Has an Environmental Impact. Period.

We love our planet and we own our responsibility to take care of it by doing everything we can to minimize our impacts and use our business as a force for good.

We measure our impact so that we can take action to reduce it.

This self-reflexive process drives decisions in all aspects of our business from product design, to supply chain and all the way through to how we get our products in your hands. It even defines where we put our charitable giving dollars.

Why do we operate like this? Certainly not because it’s easy! We do it because we believe it is our core responsibility as a business.

And reducing impact in a meaningful way can’t be done alone. We rely on a trifecta of partners to help guide our efforts and keep our standards sky high and trending ever upward.

The Climate Label

We’ve been Climate Neutral Certified since 2020, and this year we are delighted to announce that Klean Kanteen is one of the first companies to earn The Climate Label. This achievement is the next chapter of the Climate Neutral Certified movement. The Climate Label is earned by companies that demonstrate they have adopted an internal carbon fee to support the climate transition, funded projects that cut emissions from their operations and supply chain, and contribute consistently to the global net-zero transition.
