The ISO 14064-1 standard defines the principles and requirements for the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the organizational level.
It is the core international standard for developing reliable GHG emissions inventories and carbon removals reports, establishing a common framework for emissions calculation across organizations of all sizes and sectors.
Verification includes the assessment of:
- organizational and operational boundaries,
- direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3),
- calculation methodologies,
- data quality,
- assumptions and emission factors,
- completeness, accuracy, and consistency of the information.
At the end of the process, a Verification Report and a Verification Statement are issued, confirming the correct preparation of the emissions inventory report for the relevant reporting period.
ISO 14064-1 verification applies to:
- companies across all sectors,
- corporate groups and multinational organizations,
- organizations with ESG or CSRD obligations,
- businesses participating in sustainable finance instruments,
- companies that publish sustainability reports.
