“At Parachute, we have always put a focus on sustainability, and we take pride in offering premium quality, long-lasting and responsibly-made products that our customers can feel good about. Now, we are taking that one step further by publicly setting actionable goals that we believe will benefit employees, partners, customers, and our planet,” said Ariel Kaye, founder and CEO of Parachute. “We know there is a lot of work ahead of us, but we believe in doing our part to help create a sustainable future for our industry.”

Parachute’s new commitments are comprised of short-term and long-term goals that focus on improving operations, sourcing, supply chain and brand offerings.

Climate + Earth

• Become certified carbon neutral by April 22, 2022, Earth Day, by measuring and offsetting the company’s entire footprint with verified carbon credits.

• Launch the company’s first-ever circular program, the Recycled Down Pillow, beginning in 2022, made of a recycled cotton shell and filled with sanitized down from returned Parachute pillows.

Responsible Materials

• Double down on responsible material certifications for products to further advance Parachute’s commitment to a more sustainable supply chain. These include Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS®) certification, to certify cotton materials are free of harmful chemicals, pesticides and residues; OEKO-TEX® certification, to certify core products are free of high levels of 100+ harmful substances; Responsible Down Standard (RDS), to certify down comes from humanely treated ducks and geese; and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), to certify wood is responsibly sourced.
