Water, wind and stone shaped the climbing places we love — and they shape how we learn. We make practical, stubborn choices so the cliffs and coastlines are still here for future generations.

Carved in Stone Guarantees

• No harmful substances. Strict limits on lead, cadmium, azo dyes, formaldehyde and phthalates.
• Ethical production. Partners and suppliers meet robust labour & human-rights standards; fair pricing and timely payment are required.
• Full traceability. We trace key materials so you can see where and how gear was made.

Safety & testing

Independent third-party lab tests, restricted-substance screening, category controls for sensitive items (youth, skin-contact textiles, electronics), and clear care labeling.

Packaging & logistics

Smart packaging and regional delivery to reduce waste and miles:

• ≥70% recycled plastic content — global average
• 90–100% PCR for in-house North America orders
• ~86% regional fulfilment (in-house) • ~93% partner local production

Water stewardship

Our biggest water impacts are upstream (cotton & mills). We back waterless, on-demand printing, increase low-impact fibres, and demand traceability from suppliers.

Supplier standards

Accredited testing, accessible compliance docs, fair pricing practices, audits and a supplier roadmap for continuous improvement. LCAs are scheduled as we deepen measurement and transparency.
