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 started DEPT® to build the best digital agency in the world. Now, we want to build the best digital agency for the world. Technology is changing how people interact. How products and services are imagined, created and delivered. It is transforming and reshaping businesses, economies and life itself. It is also challenging some of the world's biggest problems - from climate change and inequality to environmental degradation. It makes cities smarter, supply chains shorter and consumption more conscious. And, because technology is what we do, we want to help our clients unlock power of digital to help solve their sustainability challenges. This is how we can make the biggest impact as an agency. Sustainable thinking is becoming part of our way of working. Our clients can rest assured it has been integrated in our processes and services. Every project is a potential impact project. We will be the best for the world on three levels: We want to protect the climate: we are carbon neutral today, and want to be carbon negative by 2023. We will remove more carbon from the atmosphere than our organisation emits each year. We want to accelerate responsible production & consumption via the work we do for our clients: in 2023, projects with a positive social or environmental impact will compose more than 15% of our total revenue. We want to be a diverse, equal and inclusive organisation: by 2023 our workforce is a solid representation of society at large and more than 40% of our managers are female or nonbinary.
