Our Impact
Climate Neutral Certified brands are taking the lead. By measuring, offsetting, and reducing their footprints, these brands are setting the standard for corporate climate action.
These brands have become Climate Neutral Certified for 2020. Here's what they did to get there.
X Certified Brands
Measured all of the carbon emissions from making and delivering products and services to customers.
X Tonnes
CO2 offset through carbon credits from a portfolio of projects including reforestation and renewable energy development.
700+ Reductions
Undertaken by brands seeking to limit their footprints by understanding and accounting for their carbon.
The History of Climate Neutral
Climate Neutral was born out of the direct experience of our two founding organizations, BioLite and Peak Design, which have been carbon neutral since 2012 and 2018. They knew first-hand that every business contributes to climate change, but most businesses find it too complicated to do anything about it.
Jonathan Cedar, CEO of BioLite, and Peter Dering, CEO of Peak Design, came together with the shared belief that it must be simpler to measure and remove carbon emissions, and if it were, more businesses would do it. Together they launched Climate Neutral in early 2019.
Addressing the planet’s need for urgent climate action, Climate Neutral enables both consumers and brands to take immediate action. Our process makes it easy for brands to zero out their carbon footprint and reduce future emissions, while our label helps consumers quickly identify those brands who have done so.
We've set our sights set on scaling our impact and are now welcoming brands to get certified for prior year emissions. Join us in our mission to decrease global carbon emissions.
