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.
For the past decade, I have been working with indigenous artisans to create a zero carbon womenswear line in the remote mountain villages of Guizhou province. It is handmade seed-to-button using ancient techniques that follow the cycles of nature. We grow the cotton, hand-spin the fiber, hand-weave it into fabric, and sew it together by hand all without electricity. It is made from only 3 ingredients: sun, plants, and mountain water sourced from the surrounding mountain forest. My collection ANGEL CHANG shows how we can live a zero carbon lifestyle by creating a world made solely from indigenous craftsmanship. The pieces produced follow the 3 tenets of my zero-carbon design approach: 1) all-natural, 2) locally-made, 3) no electricity.
