HUMPIER | SOMOS CARBON NEUTRAL

Since 2021, HUMPIER as an organization produced a report quantifying all its negative CO2 emissions emitted into the atmosphere. It was estimated that 90% of the emissions were produced during the production process of our garments, therefore, we decided to take action on the matter in the following way:

According to a study published in 2017 by the European Environment Agency (EEA), textile purchases in the EU caused approximately 654 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions per capita, making the textile sector the fifth largest source of CO2 emissions related to private consumption in that year.

At Humpier, hand in hand with Dcycle, we are committed to offsetting the CO2 emitted from the design and production process, investing in projects that cancel or avoid emissions to minimize our impact and contribute to some of the SDGs promoted by the UN.

Offsetting is the act of claiming the environmental benefit of greenhouse gas mitigation activities to offset unavoidable emissions elsewhere. The environmental benefit of mitigation activities is represented in compensation certificates. Each certificate (CER) is equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) avoided or removed from the atmosphere. Compensation is carried out by paying to a project, which cancels or avoids emissions, as many CERs as tons of CO2 emitted.

The entire production process of our garments (from design to order delivery) is monitored to calculate the direct and indirect emissions generated. These CO2 emissions are harmful to our environment, our contribution to prevent this from happening is not to leave a trace, to compensate. Depending on the carbon footprint that has been determined for each product, HUMPIER invests in credits equivalent to its negative emission.

The certification of the credits is endorsed by the UN Climate Change Office. It is a concept that may sound very abstract, it would be much easier to tell you that for each piece of clothing, we plant a tree, however, it would be less effective. Carbon credits are an international cleanup mechanism to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. In our case, the compensation made is directed to a wind farm located in Central America.

The Humpier production chain is carried out responsibly, and you... do you consume responsibly?
