Climate Neutral is a new consumer-focused climate certification for brands (a bit like “Fair Trade” meets “TurboTax”). The Climate Neutral label inspires consumers to factor a brand’s climate impact into their buying decisions, and their software enables organizations to have a verifiable carbon footprint. They also make it easy for Climate Neutral-certified brands to buy carbon offsets that deliver real carbon mitigation.
