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.

Our sustainability story starts with our product. Since day one, we've crafted our rings locally in NYC using recycled precious metals and ethical, lab-grown diamonds. We make each ring to order, meaning no wasteful excess inventory, and we offer a lifetime guarantee on every ring. Over the past few years, we've worked towards reducing our environmental impact in many facets of our business, from switching to 100% SCS-certified recycled gold to making sure all of our packaging is curbside recyclable. We're proud of the progress we've made, but we know there's a lot more we can accomplish. We're excited to partner with Climate Neutral to both offset our carbon footprint and help us work toward our broader sustainability goals.
