With Net Zero, companies can quickly track, analyze, and report on their environmental footprint with reliable, investor-grade data. This data is essential for third-party audits, financial filings, corporate reputation, and building trust with all stakeholders. It also has real operational value. Companies can, for example, use it to track overspending on utilities and model the ROI of energy-efficiency investments.

 Organizations in all stages of their sustainability journey can use Net Zero for everything from calculating an organization’s carbon footprint for the very first time to developing emission reduction strategies and reporting data to investors, customers, and key stakeholders. Industries such as manufacturing, energy and utilities, retail and consumer goods, and travel, transportation, and hospitality account for some of the largest carbon emissions and would find Net Zero valuable for their businesses.

The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change lists six atmospheric gases causing global warming and climate change. They are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. Amounts are usually expressed as CO2e, or carbon dioxide equivalent.

Carbon credits represent the avoidance, reduction, or removal of emissions of greenhouse gases in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. They are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). One carbon credit is equal to one tCO2e reduced or removed from the atmosphere.
