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.

To us, sustainability involves multiple angles, including improving the way products are made and consumed, and reducing negative environmental impacts throughout a product’s lifecycle. We also take into consideration the sustainability of our company’s operations, and to that end have become a Climate Neutral Certified business. We are constantly weighing multiple factors when it comes to sustainability – for example, cutting out manufacturing processes and ingredients that are toxic to humans and the environment, considering the shipping weight of glass vs. aluminum, evaluating the recyclability of our packaging choices, reducing the use of virgin materials, and choosing non-petroleum-based inks for our labels.
