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.

Description

Projects that support wind energy generation in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

We believe in creativity with conscious. Our work has always been held to a high standard as one of the most decorated video production firms in the country, but when we renovated a new studio in 2019, we knew we wanted to embrace adaptive reuse and be a net positive on the world around us. Today, more than half of our revenue is from non-profit organizations making a major difference in our community, we operate on 100% solar energy, and we pride ourselves on doing good work for good people.
