Carbon Neutral Certificate

Lifecycle & carbon

The product's measured footprint has been addressed under a stated carbon-neutrality protocol — now ISO 14068-1:2023, which requires a reduce-remove-offset hierarchy rather than offsetting alone.

You might see it written as: Carbon neutral certified · ISO 14068-1 · PAS 2060 · Climate Impact certification

Issued by: BSI · Climate Impact Partners · South Pole · SCS Global Services

What it proves

The product's measured footprint has been addressed under a stated carbon-neutrality protocol — now ISO 14068-1:2023, which requires a reduce-remove-offset hierarchy rather than offsetting alone.

What it does not prove

  • That the product's own emissions are low — check the reduction plan, not just the badge.
  • Offset quality — credit standards vary widely.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

PAS 2060 was withdrawn in November 2025; certificates still citing it are against a retired standard.

Regulators increasingly scrutinise offset-based neutrality claims; treat with care.
