## Definition

**Carbon Neutral** means where the net Greenhouse Gases emitted by \[the organisation OR activity OR product\] are zero, as certified under \[ISO 14068-1 OR British Standards Institution Carbon Neutral Kitemark scheme\] by \[an accredited certification body\], as a result of maximum feasible emission reductions \[and the offsetting of remaining emissions \[by carbon credits purchased by \[_the entity_\])\] \[_please refer to drafting notes_\] \[in \[_define time period_\]\].

\[Drafting note: ISO14086-1 is for organisational carbon neutrality whereas the BSI Carbon Neutral Kitemark Scheme is for the carbon neutrality of products or services.\]
