Context on evolving standards

International guidance on carbon neutrality has evolved, including publication of ISO 14068-1:2023 (Climate change management — Transition to net zero — Part 1: Carbon neutrality). BSI has communicated a transition away from delivery of its PAS 2060 verification scheme from 1 January 2025, while noting that previously issued opinions remain valid for the historical periods covered. This archive remains available to support transparency for the historical periods covered by Castrol’s PAS 2060 QESs and to avoid any ambiguity about the time-bounded nature of the former claims.

FAQs

No. The carbon neutrality achievements shown on this page are historical and apply only to the stated periods for each subject. No ongoing carbon neutral claim is made beyond those end dates. While continuing to consider credit-backed initiatives for interested customers and exploring the applicability of ISO 14068 for select markets, Castrol will focus primarily on reducing carbon emissions within the lubricant value chain and improving circularity. Castrol has applied learnings from its Carbon Neutral program to the rest of its products and now calculates the carbon footprint of each of its products annually, using the insights to identify potential carbon reduction initiatives.
PAS 2060’s transparency model relies on the QES being publicly available to substantiate the time-bound declaration and allow interested parties to review the basis for the claim.
ISO 14068-1:2023 is the international carbon neutrality standard, and BSI has communicated a transition away from its PAS 2060 scheme delivery from 1 January 2025; historical opinions remain valid for the periods covered.
