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.

P.F. Candle Co. is a home fragrance company from Los Angeles. Sustainability at P.F. started in 2008, when the brand was founded as an Etsy shop, repurposing discarded items like spent pizzeria candles and old books into new items. Since inception, sustainability has been a core value of how we run our business, and our commitment has only grown through our Climate Neutral certification. P.F. prioritizes using renewable materials (like soy wax), limiting excess packaging, and seeking out green energy to power our facilities. The choice to use soy wax instead of paraffin reduces our carbon footprint by thousands of tonnes. We encourage our employees to make sustainable choices by providing fully subsidized modes of transportation like a free metro pass and have composting at each facility. We give back to organizations annually that support the environment and environmental justice causes.
