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.

Projects that support wind energy generation in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Cape Clasp was founded in 2013. We created a bracelet shaped like Cape Cod and developed a non-profit partnership model with the CC National Seashore. We shared our story on social media, and after selling out of our first batch, started to think of ways to expand our line and support more non-profit causes. Today, Cape Clasp is a purpose-driven brand with a mission to #makewaves for marine life causes. For each of our designs, we partner with a marine life organization and donate 15% of our profits. Over the past few years, we are proud to say our non-profit donations totaled over $170,000.
