It provides terminology, principles and requirements for GHG-neutral organizations and products, agreed by international experts. However, it contains significant shortcomings as it allows GHG-neutrality claims to be made using  high fossil based GHG emissions and environment-damaging GHG removal methods . In a factsheet, the German Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠) describes the new carbon neutrality standard and concludes: Credible GHG-neutrality claims must go beyond the standard. Above all, companies must consequently reduce their GHG emissions.8enghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/GHG-neutralGHG-neutralitycarbon neutralcarbon neutralityclimate managementdecarbonizationISO standardclimate mitigationSonstigesClimate | EnergyEconomy | ConsumptionSustainability | Strategies | International matters
