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.

Description
Projects that help communities replace inefficient wood-burning cookstoves with more efficient, safer models.
At Koos we design for positive impact. Besides focusing on relevant design projects, we extend this to include being critical of our own behaviour. Think: providing vegetarian lunches, organizing volunteer activities as a team, travelling by train as much as possible, etc. Our goal is to have as little (negative) impact on the environment as possible. We continue to do this by also measuring, offsetting and reducing our footprint.
