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.

We will make every effort to ensure the next generation has blue oceans, green mountains, clear air, and plenty of snow to enjoy. That’s why we’ve dedicated at least 10% of our profits to environmental initiatives to offset our carbon production and to 1% For The Planet. We’re in the process to become Climate Neutral Certification. QEJA is also dedicated to keeping our packaging out of landfill. This is possible by using 100% recycled paper for our sock bands and EcoEnclose recycled envelopes to deliver your socks. These products are curb-side recyclable and don’t require any special process to break down. Our socks are made primarily from organic cotton, the sole and heel construction come from an antimicrobial and performance nylon called Q-SKIN. We are exploring non-virgin synthetics to replace this with, and are always on the lookout for earth-friendly innovations in textiles.
