DefiniciónContribución financiera para el climaLa contribución financiera para el clima significa que una organización ha calculado las emisiones de su empresa, producto, servicio u otra categoría, ha reducido las emisiones en la medida de lo posible y ha financiado proyectos climáticos por la cantidad equivalente a las emisiones calculadas.Límites del sistemaFuentes de emisiones cubiertas por la contribución financieraCarbon neutrality for companies includes at minimum direct emissions generated by the company (i.e. heat generation, vehicle fleet, and fugitive gases), emissions from purchased energy like electricity, and also indirect emissions from purchased energy, business travel, and employee commuting. Other emissions that occur outside of the company''s direct control, such as those during the extraction and production of raw materials purchased by the company, intermediate products, external logistics, product use, and end-of-life-treatment are not covered by the carbon neutral company claim.

Carbon neutrality for products includes the production, processing, and logistics of raw materials, precursors, and packaging, transport to retail, emissions from sources not directly attributable to products (e.g. employee commuting), and treatment at the end of the product life cycle. The use phase of products is not covered by carbon neutrality unless using the product itself directly emits greenhouse gases, such as the use of a combustion engine, or a gas powered heater.
