Skvare is proud to announce it is officially Climate Neutral Certified. Skvare joins the growing movement of companies achieving the Climate Neutral Certified standard by measuring its 2023 greenhouse gas emissions, taking action on reduction plans, and compensating their brand footprint with eligible-verified credits.

Climate Neutral Certified is the leading consumer label for climate neutrality. It is earned by organizations that have chosen to be accountable for the greenhouse gas emissions generated in the production, operations, and shipping of their goods and services.

"When I became the full owner of Skvare last fall, I was eager to amplify our positive impact," says Gena Dellett, CEO of Skvare. "We may be a small team of 14, but we're part of a large and growing network of businesses making a significant difference through collective action. Pursuing Climate Neutral Certification was a voluntary choice. I'm not daunted by paperwork and wholeheartedly support a self-imposed tax. Why does this matter? Because pursuing Climate Neutral Certification is just one way in which we’re putting our time and money as a company into living out our values. Skvare is fortunate to operate in a sector that provides high-value and impactful services, fostering successful partnerships with our clients and offering excellent jobs to our team. Many around the world are not as fortunate. Focusing on the health of our shared planet is my way of addressing global inequalities, in line with our company mission of Helping Others Help Others.”

“Climate Neutral Certified companies are demonstrating immediate action on climate change is possible and essential,” says Austin Whitman, CEO of Change Climate. “Climate Neutral Certified brands have built a powerful movement that gives companies and consumers meaningful ways to act on climate—today. They are leading the way, taking immediate voluntary action to address their carbon emissions, and engaging their consumers around this important issue like never before.”

Change Climate’s certification label builds on internationally recognized standards for carbon measurement and neutrality. All certified brands must measure cradle-to-customer greenhouse gas emissions each year to maintain certification. Then, a brand must commit to reduction action plans to cut future emissions within a 12-24 month timeline, reporting progress on those plans annually. Finally, certified brands must invest in eligible-verified carbon credits to compensate for all of their emissions, directing investment into critical projects that remove and avoid emissions. The brand’s certification data is publicly available on Change Climate’s website, and the process is repeated annually when companies must recertify.
