CARBON NEUTRALITY

WHAT IS CARBON NEUTRALITY?

Carbon neutrality refers to the state in which an organization’s net carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are reduced to zero by balancing the amount of emitted carbon with an equivalent amount removed or offset. It is achieved after all feasible efforts have been made to reduce emissions at the source through decarbonization strategies. The remaining, unavoidable emissions are then neutralized through credible carbon offset projects or removals, ensuring a zero net impact on the climate.

Reaching carbon neutrality signals environmental responsibility, improves brand credibility, and aligns with global climate goals such as those outlined in the Paris Agreement and Net Zero pathways. However, to be credible, carbon neutrality must be backed by verifiable data, science-based reductions, and transparent offsetting practices, in accordance with standards like ISO 14068, ISO 14064, and GHG Protocol.

HOW KBS SUPPORTS YOUR CARBON NEUTRALITY GOALS

At KBS Certification Services Ltd., we provide independent third-party assurance to help you confidently pursue and declare carbon neutrality. Our approach ensures your data, offsets, and claims are verified, credible, and aligned with international best practices.

  • GHG Inventory Verification: We validate your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using ISO 14064-3 to ensure the carbon baseline is accurate, complete, and auditable. This forms the foundation for a legitimate carbon neutrality claim.
  • Assessment of Residual Emissions: KBS evaluates whether your decarbonization measures are sufficient and what volume of emissions remain. We ensure only truly unavoidable emissions are considered for offsetting.
  • Offset Project Validation: We assess the quality, credibility, and retirement of carbon offsets used. KBS reviews documentation and registry records to ensure your offsets are:
    • Verified under globally recognized standards (e.g., VERRA, Gold Standard, CDM)
    • Permanent, additional, and not double-counted
    • Retired appropriately in public registries
  • Carbon Neutrality Claim Verification (ISO 14068): KBS conducts a comprehensive review of your carbon management plan, reduction evidence, offset use, and public disclosures in alignment with ISO 14068 requirements. Upon verification, we issue an assurance statement validating your carbon neutrality status in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
