Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality standards are now for your Environmental Management Systems
This webinar is an informative and exciting discussion on Net Zero Carbon and Carbon Neutrality. Chad Kymal, CTO for Omnex has been at the forefront of this movement for Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality and thinks now is the time for organizations to get involved.
He helped write the Net Zero Carbon Guidelines released by ISO – ”Launched at COP27, the Net Zero Guidelines tackle a major roadblock for a world where greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to the minimum and balanced by removals: the fragmented net zero governance landscape.
Competing approaches and concepts for "Net Zero" sow confusion. The Guidelines provide a common reference for collective efforts, offering a global basis for harmonizing, understanding, and planning for net zero…” He is also a US Expert in the ISO ISO14068 for “Greenhouse gas management and climate change management and related activities — Carbon neutrality”.
This standard which we will refer to as a “Carbon Neutrality” standard is harmonized with the Net Zero Guidelines. This standard will be auditable and organizations should integrate Net Zero and Carbon Neutrality into their Environmental Management Systems (EMS). If organizations are not careful there may be several fragmented approaches in the organization as they move forward.
