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.

Hikers Brew Coffee focuses on creating a sustainable coffee that you can be proud to take on your next outdoor adventure. From sourcing organic shade-grown coffee beans to the end consumer being able to compost or properly recycle our packaging, our goal is to be as sustainable as possible. Hikers Brew uses compostable packaging, post-consumer shipping materials, and through Climate Neutral we're offsetting the carbon emission we create through manufacturing and shipping. We're also a committed 1% for the planet member donating to protect our parks and partner with OneTreePlanted to plant one tree for every online order.
