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.

Description

Projects that reduce the risk of deforestation in important forest ecosystems.

Our sustainability story goes from soil to packaging! From the beginning, Coracao & CACOCO have prioritized sourcing the purest ingredients from regenerative farms that go above and beyond Organic and Fair-Trade practices. Farms that support soil health, land health and farmer welfare. We are also sponsorship partners with the Pachamama Alliance, who work with indigenous communities in the Amazon, and support them in the fight to preserve the rainforest. Most of our product lines are packaged in compostable, sustainably sourced materials, and we are currently testing out new, environmentally-friendly materials for products that still contain plastic.
