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.

Sustainability has always been one of our main focuses at Laid Back Snacks. While our core business involves shipping delicious and healthy snacks across North America, one of our goals is to do it in as sustainable a manner as possible. In mid-2020, we changed our packaging to a recyclable pouch which allowed us to eliminate single-use plastics in our product. By the end of 2022, we are switching our bags to a pillow pouch style which reduces the amount of plastic used per bag by 60%. We ship our snacks in FSC-certified, fully-recyclable boxes. This ensures that everything we ship to our customers is either edible or recyclable. We practice sourcing as locally and Canadian as possible to reduce shipping emissions. Along with becoming Climate Neural certified, we are expecting to become BCorp certified by late 2022.
