Deep dives
Accounting for Carbon Emissions and Net Zero vs. Carbon Neutral
Carbon neutrality is achieved through offsetting emissions with activities like tree planting, often inaccurately accounted for. Net zero, on the other hand, requires companies to reduce emissions internally and throughout the value chain, using high-quality carbon removals for residual emissions. Normative focuses on accurately measuring carbon emissions as part of its carbon accounting services.
