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.

KENT is first to market in compostable, plastic-free, and landfill-free clothing basics as featured in Bloomberg, Vogue, Refinery29, Treehugger, and The Financial Times (wearkent.com). We were also on Shark Tank’s first live season premiere which led to four incredible offers (snippet here from our segment), and can be found in Nordstrom, and Anthropologie (this spring), along with our own ecommerce. Our focus is creating the first verified, high-frequency compostable basics with the goal of designing out the apparel industry’s reliance on plastics, pesticides and landfills.
