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.

MANTRA launched to make Planet Positive Performance Apparel. Every product is inspired by nature, built with low-impact materials and processes, and supports conservation efforts through our 1% for the Planet commitment. But every product has a footprint - no matter how it is made or what it is made from - so we are thrilled to be able to measure, offset and reduce our carbon footprint! There's much to protect, let's all do our part.
