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.

Sustainability is about stabilizing and harmonizing the currently disruptive relationship between earth’s two most complex systems: humans and nature. People are at the heart of everything we do, from the farmers who grow our materials to the conscious consumers who purchase them. We believe we can safeguard our future through intentional small steps - simple and delicious - that when done together through gathering and sharing can have a powerful collective impact on our health and our environment. Sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and one that is perfectly imperfect and ever evolving as we seek to be at the forefront of a new food system. Together let's eat well, do better, and gather often.
