Our 2022 Impact Report
2022 was a year of significant and exciting growth. We're happy to share our results and what's ahead in 2023.
Last year we welcomed 90 new certified brands, quadrupled our greenhouse gas impact per company since 2020, and made huge progress toward our goal of eliminating millions of tonnes emissions.
Looking back on the year, it’s clear: carbon accountability is now a must-have for sustainability programs worldwide. Our consumer movement for immediate climate action is rapidly growing. And our community is now larger and more active than ever, with thousands of people working toward a net-zero future.
We want to thank you for your continued support, ideas, and collaborative partnership. We’re happy to share our results from 2022 and look forward to even bigger impact ahead.

Austin Whitman is the CEO of The Change Climate Project. He started working on climate and clean energy 19 years ago and believes companies and individuals can make a huge difference for the climate if they're just shown how. When he's not engrossed in organization-building, he's probably with his family or being an amateur at one of his many hobbies.

In late 2023, we launched a multi-year project to update our certification framework and introduce a new climate label by 2025. Our aim is to create a certification that is both clear and motivating for companies. Over the past 10 months, we engaged with NGOs, certified brands, and other stakeholders, conducted a public survey, and beta-tested with over 20 companies. This process has gathered extensive feedback, which will shape the final 2025 Standard, set to be revealed during Climate Week NYC in late September. This blog post previews 4 key takeaways from the stakeholder process.
Companies need to ramp up their financial contribution to climate solutions, spend those funds on the right things, and publicly disclose this capital allocation to stakeholders. So that begs the question: how should each company determine its next steps? What level of investment is needed to decarbonize?

At a moment when report after report shows the world is nowhere near its climate goals, the corporate climate movement is slowing down - not speeding up. For the past decade, thousands of companies raced to set ambitious, long-term targets for emissions reduction. But few if any are meeting those targets.
