Verifying Your Commitment to Net Zero Emissions
Achieving carbon neutrality is a major milestone for organizations committed to climate action. PAS 2060 is the internationally recognized specification that defines the requirements for demonstrating carbon neutrality. It requires organizations to measure their GHG emissions (via ISO 14064-1 or GHG Protocol), implement reduction plans, and offset remaining unavoidable emissions with credible carbon credits.
BQCIS provides third-party verification to ensure your declaration aligns with PAS 2060. Our process reviews your GHG inventory, carbon management plan, reduction activities, and validates the authenticity of purchased and retired carbon offsets. We verify your public Qualifying Explanatory Statement (QES) and assess full conformity with PAS 2060.
A BQCIS verification statement confirms your carbon neutrality claim is transparent, traceable, and credible — strengthening stakeholder trust and protecting your organization from accusations of “greenwashing.”
