Climate change has been globally recognized as one of the most significant challenges of our time, directly affecting the environment, the economy, and society. Businesses and organizations are now required to quantify, monitor, and reduce their carbon footprint as part of the transition toward a sustainable and responsible business model.
For this purpose, international and national policies are based on the reliable quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification (Monitoring – Reporting – Verification / MRV) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon dioxide removals.
The ISO 14064 series of standards constitutes the internationally recognized framework for the management, verification, and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors.
Specifically, it defines principles, requirements, and guidelines for:
- the calculation of GHG emissions and carbon dioxide removals,
- the preparation of reliable carbon footprint inventories,
- the verification/validation of data and claims related to emissions and removals,
- ensuring transparency and comparability of reported data.
The ISO 14064 series consists of three distinct parts:
- ISO 14064-1: Addresses the quantification and reporting of GHG emissions and removals at the organizational level.
- ISO 14064-2: Addresses greenhouse gas emission reduction projects (e.g. energy projects, offsetting, insetting).
- ISO 14064-3: Addresses the verification and validation process, applied by accredited bodies.
The ISO 14064 series consists of voluntary standards that offer:
🗹 Credibility and Transparency
