climate neutral

Net-zero carbon footprint

Climate neutral describes activities, products, or organizations that result in no net addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

This is typically achieved by balancing emissions with carbon offsets or removals: The company aims to be climate neutral by 2030.

Often used interchangeably with carbon neutral, though climate neutral may account for all greenhouse gases, not just carbon dioxide.
