What does "carbon neutral" actually mean —
and what doesn't it mean?
The term "carbon neutral" is used everywhere — and misused almost as often. Companies claim to be carbon neutral after planting a handful of trees. Others use the phrase to cover their entire operations after buying a single offset. Neither is honest.
Here is what carbon neutral actually means, how it is documented, what it covers, and where the honest boundaries of the claim begin and end. This is the guide we wish every business owner would read before making any climate communication.
