Breaking News from BSI
The ISO Net Zero Standard, launched at the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025, aims to provide clarity on the net zero transition and will enable robust climate action and accelerate progress towards a sustainable world.
Some of the simple steps you can take as a business is to focus on becoming plastic free, in your business premises but especially in your products and services. The same message applies to becoming toxic free. BSI will help and advise in each area. As a business we are certain you are aware the clock is ticking, the supply chain you are part and the end consumer expect it.
As the UK’s National Standards Body, BSI collaborates with the global network of 170+ National Standards Bodies around the world to develop governance mechanisms that support credible and verifiable climate action.
The new standard is the lead of three new standards that ISO will launch together, they are:
- ISO Net Zero Standard: A Unified Framework for Global Climate Action
- ISO Transition Finance Standard: Driving Sustainable Financial Practices
- ISO ESG Implementation Principles: Embedding Sustainability into Business Practices
Together the three new ISO Standards will create a global framework that will foster trust, transparency and scalability. Susan Taylor Martin, Chief Executive of BSI, underscored the importance of this initiative: “I am delighted that BSI has co-led the development of these Implementation Principles to help organizations of all types embed ESG measurably and consistently.
In the meantime watch the BSI video to find out how these standards together will play their role in the net zero future.
Soon to be replaced by the three new standards, The ISO Net Zero Guidelines -2022 are the first deliverables within the ISO framework that defines Net Zero and a credible path to achieve it.
BSI report that they led the development of these guidelines which represent for the first time the convergence and harmonization of a historically fragmented net zero governance landscape. In fact research has found that fewer than 4% of net zero commitments are backed by credible plans to achieve them. These Net Zero Guidelines, which BSI helped to develop, are now leading conversion to a
full certifiable standard that can help support organisations of all shapes, sizes and jurisdictions to develop their own credible paths to net zero.

The Circular Economy
BSI have confirmed that the Circular Economy is a crucial component in the road to NET ZERO. Discover how BSI can help your company stay ahead of the competition.
If you are a consumer and want to learn more this short video explains its all.
As far back as October 2024 BSI reported:
Net Zero Guidelines integrate circular economy activities into an organisation's pathway to net zero.
At the outset every business should consider how it might reduce, reuse, repair or recycle items, machinery or goods that form part of Scope 1, 2 & 3. The video is just over 1 minute long. It will tell you how BSI are moving towards NET ZERO, it may become one the best minutes you spent this year.
As soon as practicable every organisation should consider how its products and services might be redesigned to meet the three principles of the Circular Economy:
- Eliminate waste and pollution.
- Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
- Regenerate nature.
There is an urgency in rethinking designs for products and services, essentially to remove linear take-make-waste in all of its forms from every source, globally. This fact is well known to the world's major companies and they are encouraging urgency along their value chains. Today, before 2030, it may be in the form of help and support to ensure that your companies goods and services are fit for purpose in the circular economy.
BSI can help every kind of business not only to comply with the new financial reporting standards but construct its own path to Net Zero. SME's that opt in to working with BSI will find their expertise around Net Zero extends into how they might redesign their products and services to meet growing consumer demands for product that meet the challenges of entering the Circular Economy with goods that are for purpose.

Data Published by UK Office of National Statistics June 2025
The ONS UK Environmental Accounts - 2025 published in June report that the UK produced 475m tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt Co2e) 43% below 1990 levels
The four biggest pollution sources are households, 25.4% energy, 15.5% however the industry reduced output of Mt Co2e by 14.6% over 2022 figures closely followed by transport (73 MtCO2e) and manufacturing (71 MtCO2e), then agriculture (49 MtCO2e).
For every £ million of UK economic activity, the UK emitted 160 tonnes of CO2e in 2023, 71.4% down from 560 tonnes in 1990.
The environmental goods and services sector (EGSS) contributed an estimated £60.2 billion in 2022, 2.7% of total UK gross value added (GVA) in that year.
Decoupling emissions from economic growth
In principle, a reduction in overall UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity - emissions per unit of economic output - would indicate that the UK is moving towards a lower carbon economy.
Since 1990, the UK economy's emission intensity has fallen 71.4%, from 560 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per £ million of gross value added (GVA) in 1990 to 160 tonnes in 2023.
Emissions from the agriculture industry have remained relatively flat since 1990, while other high-emitting industries have seen greater fluctuations.
This can partly be explained by agricultural emissions of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas.
The agriculture industry emits the most methane of any industry, and accounts for around 52.4% of total UK methane emissions in 2023.
While the industry's methane emissions have fallen 17.1% since 1990, the water industry - the largest methane emitter in 1990 - has reduced methane emissions by 74.2% since that year.
