Are your carbon offsets PAS 2060 compliant?

The four-stages of PAS 2060 include

• Assessment: independent assessment of your GHG emissions based on accurate measurement data.
• Reduction: reducing your emissions through a target-driven carbon management plan.
• Offsetting: excess emissions are offset, often by purchasing carbon credits.
• Documentation and verification: a business demonstrates how it is adhering to the PAS 2060 standard through qualifying statements and public disclosure.

Important update relating to PAS 2060

The PAS 2060 standard for demonstrating carbon neutrality is being replaced by ISO 14068-1:2023.

What is ISO 14068?

ISO 14068 provides principles, requirements, and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. It focuses on quantifying, reducing, and offsetting carbon footprints, prioritizing direct and indirect Green House Gas emission reductions and removal enhancements over offsetting.

Why is ISO 14068 important?

ISO 14068 ensures that carbon neutrality efforts are true, fair, scientifically valid, and communicated transparently. This standard is essential for any company committed to supporting sustainable development and transition to low Green House Gas emission activities.
