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 reduce the risk of deforestation in important forest ecosystems.
Here at Native Maps, our main material is paper - and we choose our paper very carefully. All of our paper is made with hydroelectric energy from the family-owned, US-based French Paper Company. All of our paper has recycled or FSC certified content. We love paper because it is infinitely recyclable, so we transitioned all of our shipping materials to recycled paper and cardboard - which also means that our packaging is 100% recyclable. Offsetting our carbon footprint is the final step in owning - and taking pride in - our process from start to finish.
