What are the steps required for carbon neutrality?
Measure your Emissions for 12 Months
This includes a measurement of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions which calculates your entire carbon footprint for the year and quantifies into tonnes of CO2-e.
Create an Emissions Reduction Plan
At least 2 emissions reduction initiatives must be completed based on the data provided by the carbon measurement which identifies CO2 hotspots.
Offset Residual Emissions
You must provide evidence of purchasing and retiring offsets that have removed as much carbon from the atmosphere as your organisation emits.
Enter into a License Agreement
Organisations then enter into a license agreement with certifiers like NetNada, that states the terms and conditions of their certification.
Certification and Communication
Once you're officially Carbon Neutral certified, you can communicate with key stakeholders via sustainability reports, carbon neutral badges etc.
What to look for in a Carbon Neutral certification?
Strong, externally auditable analysis
Transparent emission calculations that calculate 100% of your emissions, enhancing your certification's credibility and trustworthiness.
Measurement is in line with leading frameworks
The key international bodies to look out for are Science Based Targets, International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and Task force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
