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.
Numi's goal is to activate a chain of positivity and possibility that radiates far and wide. This year, we took bold steps to create positive impact for each other and our planet. We continued to roll out our new plant-based, compostable tea bag wrapper?a project 10 years in the making. We found out that this new plant-based wrapper displaces consumption of 14.3 metric tonnes of virgin plastic annually! It also lowers greenhouse gas emissions by 67.25% compared to a conventional wrapper. Made from sustainably cultivated and renewable sugarcane and eucalyptus, it will help keep fossil fuels in the ground and bring us closer to a plastic-free future. Numi's carbon offsets are carefully considered, too. The offset project we support, Envira Amazonia, protects nearly 500,000 acres of tropical rainforest, while supporting livelihood diversification for local communities.
