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.

Our environmental sustainability began a few years ago with our efforts to reduce the use of single-use products in our cafes. Our biggest initiative thus far was to start charging 25¢ for single use cups. Within weeks, single-use cup usage dropped from 70% of drinks down to 40%. Since that success we have continued to look critically at the environmental impact of our company. We have been a 1% for the Planet member since 2020. We are always trying to reduce our footprint and are excited to join Climate Neutral in hopes to offset the rest.
