  "description": "Climate Neutral Certified is a non-profit certification program that provides a recognized standard for corporate carbon neutrality. It requires member companies to measure their annual cradle-to-customer greenhouse gas emissions, offset them entirely with third-party verified carbon credits, and implement internal reduction strategies. Every year, brands must recertify to maintain the right to display the Climate Neutral Certified label on products and marketing materials.",
