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 help communities replace inefficient wood-burning cookstoves with more efficient, safer models.
At LifeStraw, we recognize the undeniable intersection between the impact that we as a company have on the climate, the disproportionate impact that climate change has on many of the communities that we support, and our responsibility to protect and advocate for a healthier planet. We strive to create products from sustainable materials that offer healthy alternatives to more wasteful options such as single-use plastics. We also create sustainable packaging that avoids use of plastic and maximizes recyclability and composability. We are a Climate Neutral Certified Brand, measuring and offsetting our annual greenhouse gas emissions. In 2021, we committed to setting science-based targets, to not only offset but reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, even as we grow as a company. We are also active members of the outdoor industry and global community’s fight against climate change through our membership in and partnership with various climate advocacy and policy organizations.
