The BSI Net Zero Pathway provides credible assurance to your carbon inventory, methodology, targets, and management controls to ensure your company meets its net zero goals on time, and on budget. As part of the Pathway, we will use your verified carbon footprint data, including current emissions, planned business growth, and carbon reduction plans, to provide a Target Evaluator Report to show you whether your planned targets will enable you to achieve net zero by 2050 or sooner.
This BSI Target Evaluator Report also provides a detailed forecast of how much any carbon offsets and reduction initiatives are likely to cost. That way, you can understand the cost of your plan and the alternative scenarios if your organization were to do nothing, helping make the business case for net zero investment. It can also estimate the cost to human health and property that occurs from organizations' emissions.
The BSI Net Zero Pathway is not a standard, it is an overarching scheme which includes elements taken from Carbon Footprint Verification (ISO 14064-1), the ISO Net Zero Guidelines (IWA 42) and Carbon Neutrality Standard (PAS 2060). Each element has an essential part to play to ensure you’re on your way to becoming net zero.
This scheme is applicable to all organizations regardless of size or sector. Your organization's journey to becoming a certified net zero business will vary depending on a few factors.
