Achieve
Carbon Neutrality
ClimateHound empowers businesses to achieve carbon neutrality through calculating their carbon footprint, reducing environmental impact, and funding carbon-negative projects to offset remaining emissions each year.
Understand Your Carbon Footprint
Carbon neutrality starts with calculating the carbon footprint of your business. Our AI-powered software quickly calculates your carbon footprint and identifies emissions drivers and opportunities to help you reduce your environmental impact.
Expand Carbon Negative Projects
ClimateHound has access to a range of carbon negative projects to offset your remaining emissions each year. Our carefully selected and vetted offset projects allow you to achieve carbon neutral certification and easily take action on climate change.

Clean Cookstoves
About a third of the world’s population currently burns solid fuels like wood, charcoal, or animal dung for cooking, and that affects both global emissions and the health of communities, mostly in developing nations. Clean cookstoves use solar power, thermal efficiency, and other strategies to reduce greenhouse gas production and save lives.
Expand Renewable Energy: Solar and Wind Projects
The food and beverage industry uses fossil fuel energy through production and modification of raw ingredients, manufacture of products and packaging, service supplies, refrigeration, and more. Renewable energy offsets, such as wind and solar farming, mitigate that consumption of fossil fuels.
Nature-Based Initiatives for a Greener Future
Forestry management and other conservation practices protect the ecosystems that consume carbon dioxide – like emissions from supplier, distributor, and delivery vehicles – from the atmosphere. Offsets can also address soil health to sequester carbon, which creates an opportunity for growers supplying raw ingredients to practice more climate-friendly farming.
Cutting-Edge Carbon Removal Projects
Packaging and food waste in landfills releases methane, a major contributor to greenhouse gases. Using anaerobic digesters to break down the gas also releases electric power and heat to harness in place of fossil fuels for even greater downstream impact. Another exciting technology, direct air carbon capture and storage, scrubs carbon dioxide right off the air, kind of like plants and trees.
Offset Markets
Achieve Carbon Neutrality in Less Than 30 Days
By funding carbon-negative projects, companies offset their remaining emissions each year and achieve carbon neutrality. Our certification is now in millions of product units, websites, social media content, door decals, and in news publications such as Forbes, Wine Enthusiast, and Edible Asheville.

FAQs
Discover answers to common questions about our carbon neutral certification and how we can assist your team.
The ClimateHound Carbon Neutral Certification means a company has:
1. Calculated their total carbon footprint for the year, including supply chain emissions.
2. Committed to reducing overall environmental impact.
3. Funded projects to offset their remaining annual emissions.
GHG emissions can be removed or avoided in various “carbon negative” projects such as through preserving forests, renewable energy, carbon capture, and clean cookstoves. Many companies remove or avoid emissions indirectly by purchasing “carbon offsets” in which the environment benefits have been thoroughly vetted. Each carbon offset certificate purchased represents 1 metric ton of GHG emissions
Sure, you could do this yourself, but you’re busy running a business, and you don’t have time to become an expert on emissions reduction and carbon neutrality. ClimateHound has done the research to ensure that your funding for carbon negative projects produces real, measurable impact, and you can feel confident in telling your customers that you’re doing what’s right for the planet.
