ABOUT PRIMUS
Our Sustainability Work
We create products that take people in to nature – for adventure, experiences, and moments of calm. Caring for nature, the environment, and our planet is therefore at the heart of what we do. We continuously develop our range and our value chains to reduce our climate impact. We are not finished, but we keep moving forward – committed to creating products that last for generations and to driving a more sustainable outdoor industry.
A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
Our sustainability reporting covers both Primus and Silva products. Together, we are Primus-Silva. We are owned by Verdane, a European investment firm with a clear focus on sustainability. Many of our sister companies work with decarbonisation, circular business models, and the energy transition – so we are in good company, working together to reduce our climate impact.
Our emissions – and how we reduce them
We measure our greenhouse gas emissions every year in accordance with the GHG Protocol, together with an external partner. Our base year is 2023, when Primus and Silva joined forces.
Where do the emissions come from?
Around 70 percent comes from manufacturing our products (materials and energy use)
Where do the emissions come from?
13 percent is generated when the products are used.
Where do the emissions come from?
One part of the emissions comes from our own operations and are a smaller share of the total footprint (3%).
Our targets and progress
We aim to reach net zero emissions no later than 2050. As a first step, our goal is to reduce our emission intensity by 60 percent by 2030, compared with 2023. To date, we have reduced our emissions by 23 percent and our emission intensity by 25 percent.
The biggest change is that the Primus logistics centre is now heated with district heating instead of natural gas. We also have more electric vehicles in our fleet, which has reduced emissions while increasing electricity use slightly. In Scope 3, which includes the emissions we cause indirectly, the reduction is mainly due to phasing out our tent range – previously a material- and energy-intensive category – and a lower volume of new product orders due to high inventory levels.
