According to the UN ‘Put simply, net zero means we are not adding new emissions to the atmosphere. Emissions will continue but will be balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere'.

Achieving net zero is critical to reducing global warming. And climate change matters to us all.

Achieving carbon neutrality and, ultimately, net zero can be a daunting and complex challenge.

Our AI enhanced training will guide you through the development of your delivery strategy, projects, and tools to meet your carbon footprint reduction commitments.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure. And periodically measuring your carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions is essential to track your progress towards carbon neutrality.

BSI can verify your carbon footprint data to ISO 14064-1, so you can report to your stakeholders with confidence.

Carbon offsetting is the process of compensating for emissions by investing in schemes that aim to make equivalent reductions of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as reforesting programmes and investment in renewable energy. But carbon offsetting doesn’t result in a reduction in emissions.

Learn how to plan your approach to offsetting with us.

PAS 2060 is the internationally recognized specification for demonstrating carbon neutrality, providing a carbon management framework and methodology for quantifying carbon emissions.

Verification from BSI validates your carbon neutrality claims, allowing you to report to stakeholders with accuracy and transparency.

“LSE has worked over the years to reduce its carbon footprint, with our direct emissions having reduced by 44% since 2005. Our additional mitigation efforts supporting carbon reduction projects means we have now achieved carbon neutrality, a milestone on our journey to meet our net zero carbon targets. Obtaining independent verification from BSI provides assurance to our stakeholders on the robustness of our approach and data.” (Charles Joly, Head of Sustainability at LSE)

Improving energy efficiency not only reduces your fuel bills, it's one of the methods of reducing your Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions – these are the emissions commonly created by running heating systems and consuming energy produced by utilities providers.

Learn more about ISO 50001, the energy management systems standard, and how to systematically manage your energy use.

Managing your environmental impacts not only reduces waste and pollution, it also reduces carbon emissions produced upstream and downstream from your organization. It’s an integral part of taking a holistic approach to carbon reduction with a wide range of sustainability benefits.

BSI originated the standard that became ISO 14001, now the most widely used environmental management standard.

At BSI, we understand the issues surrounding your sustainability challenges. Our experts are close to the markets, whether shaping standards to best practice or finding ways to measure and verify greenhouse gashouse emissions.

You can trust us to support your carbon reduction journey – helping you become more sustainable and resilient.
