What is PAS 2060              

PAS 2060 is a specification for demonstrating carbon neutrality produced and published by the British Standards Institution (BSI). It defines a consistent set of measures and requirements for entities to show that they have achieved net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a specific subject, such as a product, service, organisation, event or building.

​

To comply with PAS 2060, an entity must follow a four-stage process:

 

• Assessment of GHG emissions based on accurate measurement data.

​​

• Reduction of emissions through a target-driven carbon management plan.

​​

• Offsetting excess emissions, often by purchasing carbon credits from approved schemes.

​​

• Documentation and verification through qualifying explanatory statements and public disclosure.

​​

PAS 2060 verification can help an entity demonstrate its commitment to sustainability, combat climate change, enhance its reputation, improve efficiency, and align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
