Carbon Credit Offsets
Does the target allow for traded credits (offsets) from outside the actor’s territory / value chain to meet the target?
About the data
Net Zero Tracker provides an overview of the 2 000 largest publicly-traded companies in the world by revenue. For those companies with a net zero (or other) target, Net Zero Tracker analyses the key components of that pledge.

Methodology
"Many actors do not specify.
Only select yes if the sinks/credits will be obtained from outside the actor’s value chain. “Internal” removals are recorded in S4. For example, a region that is aiming to remove some of its emissions via a tree-planting programme within its own boundaries, administered by the regional government, would be recorded under S4, while that same region would be recorded under S1 if was purchasing credits from tree-planting programs elsewhere."
