ISO 14068: Carbon Neutrality
ISO 14068-1 provides organizations with principles, requirements, & guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. It focuses on quantifying, reducing, and offsetting carbon footprints, utilizing a hierarchical approach prioritizing direct and indirect GHG emission reductions & removal enhancements.
The standard is essential for organizations committed to carbon neutrality, supporting sustainable development and the shift toward low-emission operations. It ensures that carbon neutrality claims are scientifically valid, transparently communicated, and reflect genuine environmental impact.
Key aspects
- Carbon Neutrality Framework: The standard establishes a globally recognized framework for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. It defines requirements and guidance for planning, implementing, and validating carbon neutrality claims.
- Emission Reduction and Offset Hierarchy: The standard promotes a structured approach that prioritizes measurable GHG emission reductions and removals before relying on carbon offsets, ensuring environmental integrity.
- Life Cycle Perspective: The standard requires organizations to assess greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain to ensure a holistic and accurate approach to carbon neutrality.
- Verification and Validation: The standard supports independent third-party verification to ensure that carbon neutrality statements are accurate, complete, and aligned with the standard’s requirements.
Applicability
The verification is applicable to a wide range of organizations and industries, especially for:
- Organizations, financial institutions, and product providers aiming to achieve and credibly demonstrate carbon neutrality through a structured approach.
- Companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint and transitioning to low GHG-emission operations.
- Entities required to validate carbon neutrality claims by regulatory bodies, clients, or stakeholders.
- Businesses seeking to enhance transparency, credibility, and trust in their climate action strategies.
