Gold Standard Invites Companies To Shape New Ongoing Emissions Framework

Gold Standard invited companies to join a new working group developing practical approaches for addressing emissions that remain while businesses work toward net zero. The initiative follows the Science Based Targets initiative’s recognition of Ongoing Emissions Responsibility in its Corporate Net-Zero Standard 2.0. A small cohort of companies with established climate targets will examine how OER fits within transition plans, which activities and financial instruments qualify, and how progress can be communicated transparently. Gold Standard estimates applying SBTi’s Advanced contribution levels across the EU and US could generate about $17 billion a year, with the framework expected in 2027.
