ISO 14060 set to become key standard for net-zero strategies

ISO 14060 is set to become a key standard for businesses committed to achieving net-zero. Building on the 2022 net-zero guidelines will provide a clear framework for setting and delivering credible (science-based) targets. As scrutiny on corporate climate commitments grows, this standard will help organisations move beyond vague pledges and offsetting, ensuring real, measurable progress on decarbonisation. For sustainability leaders, it offers a structured approach to strengthening their organisation’s net-zero strategy and demonstrating accountability.

With ISO 14060 expected ahead of COP30 in November 2025, now is the time to start preparing. Organisations that align early—by reviewing targets, testing implementation strategies, and integrating the standard into new frameworks—will be well-positioned when it comes into effect.
