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.

We're an independent sunglass brand designed & tested beachside in Los Angeles, CA. As lifelong surfers and beachgoers, we believe it is our and every brand's responsibility to treat our planet kinder. We make our sunglasses with bioacetate, a biodegradable and petroleum-free frame material. Our packaging is single-use plastic free. We're committed to ongoing improvement in this space (please @ us if you have ideas!). We'll always strive to lessen our footprint with innovative design and materials, but we hold no illusion about our environmental impact. As such, we are taking responsibility for our business and products' carbon emissions, working with Climate Neutral to measure and fully offset our total carbon footprint.
