Allbirds Sustainability Commitments
2030
Cut emissions 42% by 2030
Allbirds said it has a science-based target for 2030 to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 42% from a 2020 baseline. Scope 1 and 2 cover direct emissions and purchased energy, while Scope 3 covers most other emissions in the value chain, such as suppliers and transport. A science-based target means the goal is meant to match climate science and limit warming to 1.5°C.
2030
Reach net zero by 2030
B Lab content says Allbirds committed to net zero emissions by 2030 under the B Corp Net Zero by 2030 commitment. Net zero means the company aims to reduce emissions as much as possible first, then neutralize the rest. The source says this is meant to follow a 1.5°C pathway, so the focus is on cutting emissions before using offsets or other balancing tools.
2023
Seek B Corp recertification
In a Nasdaq update from November 2022, Allbirds said its last B Corp certification was in January 2020 and that it had begun the recertification process, expecting it in spring 2023. B Corp certification is a third-party standard for companies that meet social and environmental requirements. The update said delays at B Lab affected the timing.
