GHG removals outside an organization’s emissions inventory, that balance residual GHG emissions such that an organization’s net contribution to global emissions is reduced or eliminated. Neutralization claims are only valid under a rigorous set of conditions, including that the reductions/removals involved are additional, not over-estimated, exclusively claimed, and like for like. May include offsetting, but also all other activities an organization makes outside its value chain that are contributions to mitigation.
