Start Global Cooling

Climate Action is a natural fit for the CLIF BAR brand. Global warming threatens the places we care about, community health, and the farming systems we depend on to grow our food. And while we’re working hard to address our own contribution to climate change, we recognize that part of the mission of our sustainability program is to work beyond our four walls to help build the climate movement. And that movement is growing. Now more than ever, let’s Start Global Cooling.

The CLIF Brand’s Climate Action by the Numbers

Over 20 years of using renewable energy. CLIF bakeries and headquarters run with the help of on-site solar arrays and/or offset electricity from the power grid through the purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs).

Over 1.4 billion pounds of organic ingredients purchased to date. Organic standards require that farmers protect the natural resources on their lands, which makes organic farms key players in the fight against the climate crisis.

Over 20 years of supporting carbon offset programs that provide both environmental and social benefits including 37 renewable energy and efficiency projects and over 12,000 people provided with access to safe drinking water through the distribution of household water filters.

Over 730 fuel efficient hybrid and electric cars purchased by CLIF employees with support from our Cool Commute incentive program. Over 565 bike purchases by employees supported too.

1 million trees planted with American Forests and other non-profit partners.

Over 10 years of climate advocacy in partnership with Ceres and Protect Our Winters.

CLIF Brand Climate Commitments

We Are Still In - When the U.S. government left the Paris Climate Agreement, we stood up for climate action and announced, “We Are Still In,” joining 2,700 other organizations in declaring our support for the Paris climate commitments. A year later in 2018, we stepped up our commitment, following an invitation to join the We Are Still In Leaders’ Circle to encourage other businesses and organizations to set bold goals to be a part of the climate solution.

RE100 - The CLIF brand is a member of RE100 and committed to using 100% renewable electricity at all CLIF facilities through 2030.

EV100 - Transportation is now the largest source of global warming pollution in the United States. The CLIF brand is tackling this issue head on and committed to EV100 – the electrification of transportation.
