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 reduce the risk of deforestation in important forest ecosystems.
Our company’s mission is to empower people to make low-carbon spending choices to build a more sustainable world. Our product helps people measure, reduce, and offset their emissions. We track our company’s success both in dollars and in emissions reduced (kg CO2e). As a company, we walk the walk. We limit travel, and choose alternatives to flights where possible (buses, trains). When we do fly, we pick more efficient flight routes and offset our emissions. We choose sustainable lodging and meals for our team events. We also measure and offset our company footprint, and will be publishing our company’s emissions data later in 2023.
