Clean beauty brand Innersense Organic Beauty is now Climate Neutral-certified.
The brand has partnered with Climate Neutral, a nonprofit that helps companies measure and offset their carbon footprint and requires certified brands to commit to reducing emissions over time. Because globally zero net carbon emissions are needed by 2050 to limit the worst effects of climate change, Climate Neutral is encouraging companies to take the lead on tackling climate change, while holding them accountable to long term impact through emission reductions.
"Over the past year, we have worked hard to assess our climate impact at every level of our operations and identified areas where we can improve energy efficiency and take additional steps to reduce harmful emissions," says Greg Starkman, founder of Innersense Organic Beauty. "We are excited to stand with other Climate Neutral certified brands to collectively address the threat of climate change and invest in clean, renewable energy."
Innersense Organic Beauty is achieving carbon neutrality by reducing emissions in its operations and supply chain and investing in third-party verified projects that reduce carbon in the atmosphere. The company has committed to lowering its emissions by using 100% renewable energy to manufacture its products and reducing reliance on air freight.
As a 1% for the Planet member, Innersense Organic Beauty is investing in approved projects to help offset their emissions. Currently, the brand supports a project that helps rural communities in Sichuan, China create adequate waste management systems, and another project that collects landfill gas from the Hernando County Northwest Landfill in Brooksville, Florida to help reduce methane emissions.
"Innersense Organic Beauty and our other Climate Neutral Certified brands are leading the global shift to a net-zero economy by doing what all companies should be doing immediately: measuring, offsetting, and reducing their carbon emissions," says Climate Neutral CEO Austin Whitman. "Our label helps consumers identify these brands. It's a recognizable and trusted symbol that turns everyday purchases into meaningfully positive climate action."
