Zerocarbon Foundation (ZCF) is non-profit organization that promotes carbon neutrality globally, primarily, to private sector firms and institutions. ZCF is involved in developing and maintaining the Zerocarbon-Standard, which, once complete, will form the base for the zerocarbon certification. The foundation's mission

History
Zerocarbon Foundation was established in August, 2009 in the state of Delaware as a nonprofit

Approach
Zerocarbon Foundation is taking a micro-level approach to addressing climate change through the certification of firms to the Zero-Carbon Standard. By providing the Standard and the tools to monitor compliance, the foundation aims at initiating millions of small scale activities targeting emissions reductions, energy efficiency, and emissions offsetting.

Carbon neutrality can be achieved either by reducing the emissions of green house gases a business produce or by offsetting those unavoidable emissions through the contribution to environmentally sound projects. Carbon neutrality is achieved once the total emissions are equal to the total offsets, a situation that entitles the business to become Zero-Carbon Certified.
