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.
We believe in making a positive impact beyond the products that empower our customers to live zero-waste. We're funding the restoration of forest and marine ecosystems damaged by the production and disposal of single-use paper and plastic. To date, we've planted over 30,000 trees and removed the equivalent of over 2.6 million plastic water bottles from the ocean through our nonprofit partners. We're also working towards a more closed-loop, sustainable future by designing out the waste from our packaging, extending our products lifespan through modularity, and running a take-back program to ensure products are recycled at the end of life.
