About Climate Neutral Certification

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.

Like you, we want to leave a positive and long-lasting legacy. One that's about contribution as opposed to consumption. It's important to us that we witness first-hand the positive difference we make. We want to make a living legacy that will be timeless. And every day, we feel deeply privileged to live, work and play in one of the most beautiful and prosperous regions in Australia and the world. We want to add to that beauty and prosperity not just locally but around the world too. Our giving and daily actions play a part in making sure of that. We can choose to partake in any number of lifestyle choices on our doorstep, we thrive in our locale, and our kids are healthy and strong. Given this, it would be remiss of us not to play a small part in bringing basics such as clean drinking water, sustenance, education, and hope to people worldwide. And to leave the planet better a better place. That's the kind of legacy of which we can all be proud. To make that happen, we work both locally AND globally. Globally, we partner with B1G1.com, 1% for the Planet & Climate Neutral. By partnering with us together we are creating smiles, changing lives and creating a better world.
