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.
