"LONDON - The United Nations and standard setter the International Organization for Standardization launched a set of guidelines on Friday to help organisations construct net-zero emissions plans.

As regulators increasingly focus on tackling weak corporate environmental claims, and investors call for harmonised global standards, the U.N. and ISO said its work would act as a core reference text on what to include in their net-zero plans.

It follows a U.N. report this week at COP27 climate talks in Egypt which said action was needed to tackle rampant "greenwashing" in company net-zero plans, as it proposed new standards to tackle the issue."
