What Topiku's 2025 Numbers Actually Mean for the Planet
Every year around this time, the conversation about climate impact gets louder. Brands publish commitments. Reports get filed. The language gets ambitious.
We'd rather show you the numbers.
This Earth Day, we're sharing what 2025 actually looked like for Topiku not projections, not estimates, not aspirations. Real figures from a year of work.
7,343 hours of work.
In 2025, we produced hats across our Classic and Expedited programs. Every single one was handcrafted by our artisan team in Desa Rahayu, Cigondewah, a process that logged 7,343 working hours across the year.
That number matters to us beyond production. Working hours represent livelihoods. They represent a team that has been with us for over a decade, earning above-industry wages, with stable income and safe conditions. When we talk about responsible manufacturing, we mean this: the hours are paid, the people are named, and the work is skilled.
5,047 kg emitted. 57,608 kg offset.
The carbon footprint came to 5,047 kg of CO₂e across the full year including materials, manufacturing, and logistics combined.
We offset 57,608 kg.
That is more than eleven times what we emitted. Every kilogram of carbon our production created, we offset more than eleven times over through verified climate programs.
In 2025, our offset support went to Seatrees projects in Cambodia and Kenya, organizations working to restore coastal ecosystems, protect carbon-absorbing mangroves, and create lasting environmental impact in regions that need it most.
Topiku’s 2025 Impact Numbers
What the quarterly picture looks like
Our busiest quarter was Q2, with 2,126 kg of carbon footprint across April, May, and June, our highest production period of the year. Our lightest quarter was Q1 at 704 kg.
That variation matters because it reflects real demand, not padded numbers. We do not produce speculatively. Every hat we make is ordered, which means every kilogram of emissions in this report corresponds to a product that was actually worn.

Since we started keeping records
Zooming out, the picture becomes more meaningful. Since 2021, Topiku has emitted 53.1 tonnes of CO₂e, and offset 532 tonnes, more than ten times our total emissions over five years.
That consistency is what we are most proud of. Not a single standout year, but a model that holds up across time and scale.

Why we publish this
Earth Day is a useful prompt. But we publish our impact data because transparency is the only version of sustainability we trust.
Anyone can make a climate claim. Fewer are willing to put the numbers next to it, the actual emissions per unit, the verified offsets, the specific projects funded, the working hours behind every product.
We are not perfect. Our footprint is real and we continue to work on reducing it year after year. What we can promise is that the numbers we publish are the numbers we stand behind.
Thank you to every brand and individual who ordered a Topiku hat in 2025. Your order is in here somewhere.
