Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Net Zero Standard

The Net Zero Standard is a comprehensive framework providing a tiered certification pathway for organizations to set, implement, and achieve verified net zero emissions across their operations and supply chains.

Participating demonstrates your commitment to climate action, builds trust with stakeholders and consumers, aligns with global climate goals, and provides a credible pathway to measurable emissions reduction.

The Net Zero Standard features six levels across two tiers. Essential levels (E1–E3) cover Scope 1, 2, and essential Scope 3 emissions. Comprehensive levels (C1–C3) include all relevant emissions including supply chain and end-use. Each tier progresses from targets set, to on track, to achieved.

Targets must be science-based, aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and consistent with achieving net zero by 2050. Absolute reduction targets are required, and the baseline year must be clearly defined.

Carbon offsetting is used only after achieving at least a 90% absolute reduction in emissions. High-quality, verified carbon removal credits can offset the remaining 10% to reach net zero. We recommend using CRISP-rated projects for transparency and credibility.

Start by downloading the Net Zero Standard Requirements Document for detailed criteria. Then visit our Apply Here page to submit your application. Our team will review your submission and guide you through the verification process.

The NZS requires a minimum reduction of 45% in absolute emissions by 2030 (from a 2015 or later baseline year) and net-zero emissions by 2050. You can also refer to the latest IPCC reports and relevant sector-specific guidance for further information on 1.5°C-aligned pathways.

The NZS prioritizes absolute emission reduction targets. However, intensity-based targets can be used if they are accompanied by a commitment to absolute emission reductions in the long term.

The NZS requires companies to achieve a minimum of 90% reduction in emissions from their baseline year before using carbon removal offsetting to achieve net zero.

Choose projects that are certified by a carbon crediting program that adheres to the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles (CCPs). The NZS recognizes carbon credits issued by programs that have been assessed and deemed CCP-eligible by the ICVCM.

Certified companies can use the official NZS logos associated with their certification level on various communication materials, following strict guidelines.

Yes, you can use the NZS logo on product packaging, provided that the product or service is directly related to the company's net zero achievements and the logo does not potentially imply the product or service as being net zero or carbon neutral.

The total time for achieving certification can vary, but it typically takes several weeks from the initial application to the final decision.
