London, England, September 23, 2019 — Tentsile, the award-winning brand known for its portable and elevated Tree Tents, is proud to announce it has joined Climate Neutral Certified, an independent and rigorous certification program that verifies a company has achieved net-zero carbon emissions for the entirety of a company’s carbon footprint.
Climate Neutral, a non-profit organization, provides the Climate Neutral Certified label for companies that meet its rigorous standards. The organization has a mission to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world by recruiting companies to publicly measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions. Climate Neutral provides the Climate Neutral Certified label to communicate to customers and stakeholders that a brand is committed to a set of immediate and long-term actions to reverse climate change.
“Tentsile is extremely proud and excited to be supporting the Climate Neutral cause to tackle climate change,” said Alex Shirley-Smith, CEO of Tentsile. “Being socially responsible is part of our DNA and one of the main reasons Tentsile was founded. We strive to get more people experiencing the outdoors in new ways as well as educating people on the importance of trees and the huge part they play in combating climate change. By joining Climate Neutral, we are teaming up to create a bigger collective to help make even more substantial progress towards a low carbon future.”
The decision to join this movement aligns with Tentsile’s tree planting program, where the company plants 20 trees for every Tree Tent and hammock sold. Since 2017, Tentsile set a goal to plant one million trees by 2021. Today, Tentsile has planted over 600,000 trees with its tree planting partners WeForest and Eden Reforestation Projects.
“Given the urgency of the climate problem, it is critical for businesses to take responsibility for the carbon pollution generated from making and delivering their products and services,” said Climate Neutral Executive Director, Austin Whitman. “We’re thrilled to have Tentsile join the growing set of companies that have committed to this journey. Our brands are going to lead their industry peers into a new era of social responsibility.”
