ISO 14064: Your Gateway to Credible Climate Action

As global supply chains demand greater environmental accountability, robust greenhouse gas (GHG) management is no longer optional - it is a strategic necessity. Understanding and implementing ISO 14064 empowers your organisation to measure, manage, and validate your carbon footprint with international credibility.

What is ISO 14064?

ISO 14064 is the internationally recognised standard for GHG accounting and verification. Unlike rigid protocols that prescribe specific tools, this standard is designed to be policy-neutral and flexible. It provides a clear, general framework, allowing organisations to adapt their approach based on specific regulatory requirements or GHG programs. This ensures that your sustainability efforts are both compliant and tailored to your operational reality.

The Standard in Three Parts

The ISO 14064 framework is structured to provide clarity across the entire emissions management lifecycle:

Part 1: Organisation-Level Inventories: Specifies the principles and requirements for designing and developing GHG inventories at the company or entity level.
Part 2: Project-Level Accounting: Details the requirements for quantifying, monitoring, and reporting emission reductions or removal enhancements from specific GHG projects.
Part 3: Validation & Verification: Provides the essential guidance for conducting validation and verification of GHG assertions, ensuring your data is accurate, transparent, and trustworthy.
