    📢 Important update! We’re excited to announce the launch of Net Zero Aligned - our new verification and certification service designed to help organisations to demonstrate real, measurable progress toward their targeting and alignment to net zero. Net Zero Aligned provides a clear, structured, assured route to credible net zero claims, as well as enabling proactive preparation for the forthcoming, world-first international ISO standard for net zero - ISO 14060. This is achieved via a two-phase process: 🌎 Phase 1: Verification (UKAS Accredited) – Independent, impartial, third-party verification of your carbon footprint and mitigation strategy against the internationally recognised standards ISO 14064-1 (greenhouse gas quantification and reporting) or ISO 14068-1 (transition to net zero – carbon neutrality). If you are already suitably verified against one of these, you can proceed directly to Phase 2 🌎 Phase 2: Certification – Independent, impartial, third-party certification of your net zero alignment against IWA 42 (ISO’s net zero guidelines) confirming that your business is on track to meet its net zero goals, providing stakeholders with assured confidence in your climate commitments. With increasing pressure to demonstrate genuine and accountable progress toward net zero, independent verification and certification with NQA is the most robust route. Net Zero Aligned sets you apart by offering a credible, science-based approach to climate action. Be among the first to secure your Net Zero Aligned certification and lead the way in sustainable business! Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKUnb-nw #NetZero #ISO14068 #ISO14064

    Check out the latest blog from one of our trusted APP partners, Ley Hill Solutions, where they address common misconceptions about ISO standards. ISO certifications are often misunderstood. They’re not just “tick-box exercises” or “too much work.” In fact, when implemented strategically, ISO standards drive continuous improvement, boost efficiency, enhance customer and employee satisfaction, and contribute to long-term growth.
