The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has launched the first globally agreed Net Zero Guidelines. 

This landmark publication provides much-needed guidance and clarifies key concepts and terminology around net zero.  

In little over a year, 1 200 organizations and experts from more than 100 countries have produced a document that provides clear, harmonized definitions and guidance, agreed through a collaborative and consensus-based process.  

The new ISO Net Zero Guidelines, developed through ISO’s International Workshop Agreement process, define key concepts and lay the foundation for accountability and reporting.
