In late 2023 the International Standard Organization (ISO) published a new standard on carbon neutrality: ISO 14068-1. It provides terminology principles and requirements for GHG-neutral organizations and products agreed by international experts. However it contains significant shortcomings as it allows GHG-neutrality claims to be made using high fossil based GHG emissions and environment-damaging GHG removal methods . In a factsheet the German Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠) describes the new carbon neutrality standard and concludes: Credible GHG-neutrality claims must go beyond the standard. Above all companies must consequently reduce their GHG emissions.
