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 capture or remove emissions from industrial processes.

We believe it’s every brand’s responsibility to look after our home. That’s why we sustainably farm, conserve energy by fermenting rather than distilling and are proud members of 1% for the Planet and Climate Neutral. In keeping with our values and sustainability goals, Tecoda has pioneered 1:1 (One Harvested, One Planted) replanting every blue Weber agave we harvest. All the biomass that we generate (agave waste or agave fiber), we compost and this is returned to the earth to provide nutrition and prevent deforestation and malnutrition on our farms. We are a small brand committed to just doing our part.
