ISO 14608 provides principles, requirements and guidance to help a company achieve and demonstrate carbon neutrality. ISO 14608 focuses on quantifying, reducing and offsetting carbon footprints. The standard utilises a hierarchical approach (a system which controls risk within the workplace) to prioritise direct and indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission reductions and removal enhancements within the value chain over offsetting.
Organizations, financial institutions, and product providers seeking to achieve and demonstrate carbon neutrality could benefit from utilising ISO 14068.
