Transparency & Reporting
Alpine Fit doesn't have a dedicated sustainability page or report, but provides some information in various blog posts. It's unclear how freqeuntly this information is updated, and some of it is out of date.
Emissions Tracking
Commons couldn't find information for emissions tracking.
Emissions Targets
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for Alpine Fit. It used to be Climate Neutral certified but as of this review it's not listed as such.
Supply Chain & Labor
Alpine Fit provides brief information about its supply chain partners, sharing that it prioritizes USA-based sourcing and Alaska-based manufacturing. It doesn't have, or doesn't make public, any supplier code of conduct.
Alpine Fit receives a Fair rating because it has made some efforts but its overall sustainability reporting is lacking. It appears to use a mix of low and high emissions materials, but doesn't have any stated goals to improve this mix. It takes responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering a free lifetime repair program and warranty. Alpine Fit lowers its emissions by localizing its end-stage production within the state of Alaska. However, it doesn't provide any reporting on its packaging, energy strategy, and current emissions tracking or reduction efforts.
