Protecting the Places We Adventure

Featherstone & ClimatePartner

Featherstone partners with ClimatePartner to support certified climate projects that protect our oceans and conserve the world’s forests.

Beyond gear—this is our commitment to the planet we explore.

At Featherstone, the outdoors isn’t just a place we visit—it’s the heart of everything we do. We design gear for people who seek connection with nature, and with that comes a responsibility to protect the wild spaces we all share.

That’s why we’ve partnered with ClimatePartner, supporting certified climate projects that safeguard coastal ecosystems, reduce plastic pollution, and preserve some of the world’s most vital forests. These projects undergo independent third-party auditing to ensure transparency, accountability, and genuine impact.

That principle guides our approach to climate action. You can’t fix the climate by offsetting alone. The first step is reducing emissions; the next is helping fund the solutions that protect our planet. 

While our financial contributions to ClimatePartner projects do not offset or reduce the carbon footprint of our products or company, they help accelerate global climate solutions and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—including Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land. By investing in science-backed projects that protect oceans and forests, we’re committing to meaningful climate progress while continuing our work to reduce emissions within our own operations.

This is just the beginning of our long-term commitment to responsible business and protecting the environments we adventure in

Featherstone supports certified Ocean Protection and Forest Conservation projects through ClimatePartner.

Ocean Protection Project

The ClimatePartner Ocean Protection Project works with coastal communities to recover and responsibly process plastic waste before it reaches the ocean. By improving waste-management systems, funding collection infrastructure, and creating fair-paying jobs, the project helps reduce the flow of plastic into marine ecosystems.

Plastic pollution threatens marine life, coral reefs, fisheries, and the health of coastal communities. This initiative gives waste value, supports local collectors, and stops ocean-bound plastic at the source. It’s a tangible, scalable solution to one of the planet’s most urgent environmental challenges.

Deforestation Prevention Project

Featherstone also contributes to ClimatePartner’s Forest Conservation / Avoided Deforestation Project, which protects biodiverse ecosystems from illegal logging, land-use conversion, and unsustainable agricultural practices.

These forests play an essential role in absorbing CO₂, supporting local wildlife, maintaining watersheds, and providing livelihoods to surrounding communities. By funding forest monitoring, land-steward training, and sustainable development initiatives, this project ensures these protected areas remain standing—and thriving.

The result is a powerful combination of climate protection, biodiversity conservation, and community resilience.

FEATHERSTONE’S PATH FORWARD

Our Commitment Doesn’t End Here

Supporting impactful climate projects is just one step in our broader sustainability journey. We are continually evaluating materials, production processes, packaging, and durability to reduce our environmental footprint over the long term.

Our mission is simple: Make quality gear that inspires exploration while protecting the world we explore.

We’re committed to expanding our climate efforts year over year, increasing transparency, and building a business that does right by the planet—not just today, but for decades to come.
