Over the past year, our sustainability team worked to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions it takes to manufacture, warehouse, and ship our products worldwide, as well as the emissions impact of our total operations. We are now offsetting those 2021 emissions by investing in climate change solutions and planning future reductions. Our goal is to reduce our entire carbon footprint by 30% by 2030.
Through our carbon offset program, Sunday Afternoons purchased credits in the Hong Phong 4 Solar Plant in Vietnam to offset 4,905 tonnes (metric tons) of greenhouse gas emissions in 2021.
With our roots in making hats that offer sun protection, supporting a solar project was a logical choice. We chose the Hong Phong 4 Solar Plant because we have longstanding relationships with suppliers and factory partners in southeastern Vietnam, and we are dedicated to giving back directly to that community. Supporting solar projects in Vietnam reduces the region's reliance on fossil fuels and results in cleaner air and water for the local communities.
