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.

Projects that reduce the risk of deforestation in important forest ecosystems.
In 2019 60% of the total global coffee production came from 12.5 million small-holder farmers, 44% of whom were living in poverty and 22% in extreme poverty. Almost 70 years earlier in 1950, Colombian coffee representative, Andres Uribe appeared before US congress, his request - an ‘equitable price’ for coffee. Philosopher George Santayana famously said, ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ It makes one think - it’s almost as if the system were set up this way. We link specialty arabicas to amazing NGOs & pledge 25% of our profits. We believe in equitable supply chains that reward farmers. We don’t rely on coffee certifications, just the facts on the ground. We believe delicious coffees should always be traceable.
