How to make credible and transparent net zero or carbon neutrality claims?
Corporate climate claims such as carbon neutrality, climate neutrality, and net zero structure and define corporate climate action nowadays.
While these terms and claims are very useful in understanding the ambition level of corporate climate action, there is often little transparency in how these terms are defined. In this white paper, we will answer five key questions:
- How to set the time frame of the claim?
- What emissions should be included?
- How to define the mitigation hierarchy?
- What type of emission compensation can be used?
- How to ensure the quality of carbon credits?
Download our white paper to understand how to communicate your climate claims transparently, without the risk of greenwashing.
"It is clear that corporations are a major contributor to the climate crisis but they can also have a key role in solving it. Without ambitious corporate climate action, we will not limit global warming according to the Paris Agreement."
