An estimated 96% of Timberland's carbon footprint comes from businesses it doesn't own. It is associated with the emissions embedded in its raw materials and produced by its partner factories and carriers. One way of influencing its indirect footprint is by measuring the lifecycle climate impact of its products and providing product designers/developers and consumers with that information so they can make more informed choices that lead to lower carbon products. Timberland seeks to do this with its Green Index. More recently the company developed a carbon toolkit and carbon management expertise within its own Code of Conduct team to help suppliers evaluate and reduce their climate impact. Through this outreach Timberland will introduce the Climate Counts scorecard to its suppliers in 2010.
“The Climate Counts scorecard provides a continuous improvement process and is a useful tool in identifying next steps on the climate action continuum. While we have tracked our climate impacts since 2000, making our emissions data and reductions efforts transparent will continue to help us improve our own performance while also serving to raise awareness about and grow markets for innovative solutions to climate change.”
