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.

Working as a photographer in the outdoor industry, our business is naturally tied to sustainability. How can we take photos of the most beautiful places on the planet if we don't make an effort to protect and conserve them? Our work relies on the beauty of the planet and in turn we feel a responsibility to help keep the planet beautiful. Over the years, we have taken an assortment of pro-environmental measures. To begin, Chris has used his photographic skillset to work on a number of commercial projects and for commercial clients that aim to help protect our environment and promote wild places around the globe. Our hope is that by helping people see and learn about these places, they will be more inclined to stand up for them!
