Lifecycle Impact Analysis 
Consistent with our ethos of radical transparency, we engaged GreenStep, a reputable third party, to prepare an analysis of our supply chain measuring the environmental impact of our products. The results were as follows:

  • Emissions: 6.93 Kilograms CO2e
  • Water Used: 119.85 Liters
  • Waste: 0.33 Kilograms

Tenere is diligently working on developing programs to (1) primarily reduce the emissions, water usage, and waste within its supply chain and operations and (2) secondarily offset the emissions, water usage, and waste that it cannot currently avoid.
