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.

Avoid deforestation

Description

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

Many cosmetic products contain chemical substances that are associated with serious health hazards and that pollute our oceans. We are not willing to take that chance, and we do not think anyone else should either. This has motivated us to create Elm Innovative Organics. When nature's finest raw materials are cultivated with innovative technology, we can make high-quality cosmetics - without harmful chemicals.
