The PAS 2060 standard specifies a four-stage process to demonstrate carbon neutrality. This involves:

• Assessment of GHG emissions based on accurate measurement data
• Reduction of emissions through a target-driven carbon management plan
• Offsetting of excess emissions, often by purchasing carbon credits
• Documentation and verification through qualifying explanatory statements and public disclosure.

Through independent BSI verification to PAS 2060, your business can demonstrate that it has met these requirements. You can show you are serious about sustainability, responding to the challenge of climate change and contributing to the UNSDGs, while enhancing your organization’s performance and resilience.
