Our Climate Positive Journey

Everything we make and consume has an impact on our planet and its people.
Like you, we have felt a growing need to make a positive difference in our environmental impact. That&#8217;s why here at Viking, we have started our journey towards becoming a climate-positive company, and we are excited to share our commitment with you!
At Viking, this means we will work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our value chain, from sourcing and manufacturing to transportation and through product use and reuse. And focus on working together with partners to store carbon through reforestation and responsible forest management.

Our climate positive journey
Our first step toward becoming a climate-positive company was our initial commitment to beginning the transition in 2020. In 2021 we took our second step when we set science-based targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in line with a 1.5°C warming pathway. The first steps on any journey are often the most exciting, filled with optimism and the promise of adventure. It&#8217;s often the most challenging part of the route when we need to remember why we started. 
Why we have committed to being Climate Positive by 2030
Climate scientists agree that global warming is the biggest issue facing our planet, and for the good of our planet, we must reduce our emissions drastically in the next decade. During 2021, Viking has taken many positive steps since launching our ambitious goal of becoming Climate Positive by 2030. We partnered with Norwegian company CEMASYS who will help us measure our progress by calculating our greenhouse gas emissions based on the international standard GHG Protocol, and we applied for the &laquo;Science-Based Target&raquo; initiative as part of our journey towards becoming Climate Positive.
So, what do we mean by being Climate Positive?
There isn’t a standardized or agreed-upon definition of what this phrase means yet, so we’re defining Climate Positive as meeting our greenhouse gas reduction targets and removing more emissions than we produce. There are a lot of terms out there: climate or carbon-neutral, net-zero, climate positive, carbon-negative/positive. Here’s a chart to help define them:

We promise to keep you in the loop as we move forwards, explore new trails and even when we stumble backward. As we launch our annual sustainability report, we invite you to join us as we share our progress and challenges.
