Overview

What Is ISO 14068 – Carbon Neutrality?

ISO 14068 defines a globally recognized framework for achieving carbon neutrality by balancing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with verified reductions and offsets. The process begins with measuring emissions across an organisation's activities, products and operations to establish an accurate baseline. From there, companies are required to reduce emissions through energy efficiency, operational improvements and the adoption of cleaner technologies. This structured approach ensures that reductions are prioritized before considering offsets, aligning with international best practices.
To address unavoidable emissions, ISO 14068 requires investment in credible offset projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, or carbon capture initiatives that deliver measurable climate benefits. Certification provides independent verification that carbon neutrality claims are transparent, accurate and trustworthy. By adopting ISO 14068, organizations not only demonstrate climate responsibility but also strengthen compliance build stakeholder trust and position themselves as leaders in global sustainability.

Key Features of ISO 14068

Measure emissions, reduce impact, verify offsets and ensure transparent reporting.

Calculate Carbon Footprints

Quantify greenhouse gas emissions across operations, supply chains and products. ISO 14068 ensures a complete and accurate baseline for credible carbon neutrality claims.

Mitigate Climate Impact

Implement effective strategies to reduce emissions through operational efficiencies, energy optimisation and adoption of low-carbon technologies, minimising environmental impact.

Offset Residual Emissions

Address unavoidable emissions with verifiable carbon offset projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, or carbon capture initiatives that deliver measurable climate benefits.

Communicate Carbon Neutrality

Report climate achievements transparently, ensuring credibility, accuracy and alignment with international frameworks to build trust with regulators, stakeholders and investors.

A Global Agreement For Change

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 at COP21 in Paris, is a landmark international treaty that unites almost every nation in the fight against climate change. Its core objective is to limit global temperature rise to well below two degrees Celsius and to pursue efforts to stay below one point five degrees compared to pre-industrial levels.

Pathway to Carbon Neutrality: Paris Agreement Goals and the ISO 14068 Framework
  • To achieve this, countries committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate resilience and supporting developing nations through technology and finance.
  • The long-term vision is to reach global carbon neutrality or net zero emissions, around 2050 by balancing any remaining emissions through credible reduction and offset measures.
  • The Agreement underpins today's global climate strategies and frameworks such as ISO 14068 help organizations turn this shared ambition into measurable, transparent, and verifiable climate action.
