The recent overhaul of PAS 2060 to ISO 14068 has updated the globally recognised benchmark for achieving and verifying carbon neutrality. This shift marks a significant step towards creating unified, credible and transparent standards for carbon claims across sectors.
Introduction of ISO 14068 and Its Key Principles
Entering into force in January 2025, ISO 14068 is the new international standard that defines the requirements and principles for organisations and products seeking to demonstrate carbon neutrality. Replacing the British PAS 2060, ISO 14068 significantly strengthens the requirements for carbon neutrality management plans. It promotes the concept of ‘Reduce, Remove and Offset’ by prioritising practical emissions reduction before offsetting. This is intended to bring about enhanced rigour, clarity and alignment with international standards.
Supporting Organisations with Expert Guidance
To support organisations in understanding and applying this new standard, Tunley Environmental, a leading sustainability consultancy, is teaming up with credible carbon credit provider One Tribe to deliver a free, CPD-certified webinar: "Achieve Carbon Neutrality with ISO 14068".
The webinar will take place on the 12th of June at 16:00pm (BST) and aims to demystify ISO 14068 while equipping attendees with the tools and frameworks to ensure their carbon neutrality efforts meet global best practice.
Webinar Key Learning Objectives and Target Audience
Key learning objectives include:
• The core principles of ISO 14068-1 and how to apply them
• Understanding the difference between carbon neutrality and Net Zero
• Applying ISO 14068 to organisational contexts
• The role of verified carbon offsets
• Real world applications to learn from
This session is designed for Sustainability Directors, Carbon Managers, Heads of ESG, Procurement Leads and Compliance Officers responsible for climate-related strategy and reporting. It is also relevant for any organisation publicly committed to Net Zero or carbon neutrality or those who wish to begin the process and understand what it entails.
Expert Insights on the Importance of ISO 14068
Dr Aaron Yeardley, Co-Head of Science at Tunley Environmental and one of the webinar’s lead presenters, commented: “ISO 14068 provides the transparency and consistency that has long been missing from carbon neutrality claims. Our goal with this webinar is to make this new standard accessible and actionable for sustainability professionals who are serious about integrity and impact.”
