How Should Organizations Plan Their Net Zero Futures? The Crucial Role of International Standards

29 Apr 2025
Green Stage

There is a powerful but behind-the-scenes market mechanism that exists in every country on earth, and which provides trust and credibility to the market, called Quality Infrastructure. This is the system of independently verifiable standards, conformity assessment, and accreditation, which together are why we trust the food we eat won't poison us and the cars we buy won't implode. This system hasn't been leveraged to scale and and accelerate the net zero transition — yet. That's changing with BSI's development of the ISO Net Zero Standard, which will become the world's first international, independently verifiable net zero standard for organizations. This session will explore the implications of the standard for the market, how global corporations are already using standards to support credible and comprehensive net zero transition planning, and the relationship between formal standards and policy. Join us and learn how you can participate in the ISO Net Zero Standard development process and supercharge the net zero transition too!
