Wherever you see the Climate Neutral Certified label, it means the company is accountable for its greenhouse gas emissions. To earn the label, a company must annually measure cradle-to-customer emissions, implement specific action plans to reduce emissions, and invest in high quality, verified carbon credits.
The certification requirements are detailed in the rigorous, peer-reviewed Climate Neutral Certified Standard. Each company’s application is reviewed for compliance by Change Climate’s certification team.

Description
Projects that help communities replace inefficient wood-burning cookstoves with more efficient, safer models.
We have been working to increase the carbon in our clay soils since 2012. We farm using no-till practices with both our protea flowers and wine grapes. Using mulch, vegan compost, and rotating cover crops has allowed us to forgo fertilizer application now that our carbon % is nearing 2%. Building soil carbon takes patience as it is a slow process and we realized that we needed broader and more immediate goals to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Change Climate Project Certification holds us accountable each year. Additionally, their expertise in identifying quality carbon credits is valuable for small companies like ours.
