+ social impact

This year marks my tenth at Peak Design. In our 2024 impact report, I reflect on our road to becoming a responsible business, and how it started with the adoption of a factory code of conduct and committing 1% of our revenue to environmental nonprofits. Since then, our work has grown in both size and complexity.

Below are 2024’s highlights from our efforts under each pillar of our sustainability strategy. For a deeper dive, download the full report.

Materials

In 2024, we doubled down on understanding our materials—where they come from, how they impact the planet, and how we can do better. We also set bold sustainability targets to steer us forward.

factories

We conducted social and environmental audits on all of our Tier 1 factories. Some aced it, others need work. We don’t just walk away from the tough ones—we work with them, track progress, and push for better conditions.

Climate

We’ve measured—and offset—our entire carbon footprint since day one. In 2024, we refined our supply chain data so we can reduce emissions smarter and track progress more accurately.

Advocacy

We’ve always put our money where our mouth is. Through 1% for the Planet, we give at least 1% of revenue to grassroots environmental organizations; totaling over $5.8 million to-date. Last year, we upped the ante—committing $100K annually to The Conservation Alliance.
