ISO 14064 Certification Consulting Services – Greenhouse Gas Inventory

ISO 14064 is an international standard within the ISO 14000 series, focusing on the measurement, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ISO 14064 helps organizations manage emissions, implement reduction measures, and report transparently on GHG emissions.

ISO 14064 is divided into three main parts: ISO 14064-1 (organization-level emissions management), ISO 14064-2 (emissions reduction project management), and ISO 14064-3 (GHG data verification and auditing).

• ISO 14064-1: Provides guidance and requirements for establishing and managing GHG emissions and removals inventory at the organizational level. This includes identifying emission sources, calculating emissions, and creating transparent reports.
• ISO 14064-2: Focuses on managing projects aimed at reducing emissions or enhancing GHG removals. This part helps evaluate the effectiveness of environmental projects aimed at emission reduction.
• ISO 14064-3: Addresses the process of verifying and auditing GHG emissions reports and compliance with ISO 14064-1 and 14064-2 standards. It ensures that emissions reports and data are accurate, transparent, and verifiable.

This certification is crucial for organizations and businesses in managing GHG emissions, contributing to climate change commitments and sustainable development.
