GHGs Accounting & Verification (ISO 14064)
Welcome to our GHGs Accounting & Verification (ISO 14064) service. This program helps organizations effectively measure, manage, and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with ISO 14064, the globally recognized standard for GHG quantification, reporting, and verification. Our program ensures that your carbon footprint is accurately measured, verified, and reported, contributing to your sustainability goals and compliance with international climate commitments.
What is ISO 14064?
ISO 14064 is a series of international standards for the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This standard provides organizations with a framework to account for and verify their carbon emissions, ensuring transparency, credibility, and alignment with global climate objectives, such as the Paris Agreement.
ISO 14064 is divided into three parts:
-
ISO 14064-1: Specifies the requirements for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removalsat the organizational level.
-
ISO 14064-2: Provides guidelines for quantifying and reporting GHG reductions or removalsat the project level.
-
ISO 14064-3: Outlines the requirements for GHG verification and validation, ensuring the accuracy and credibility of GHG assertions.
GHGs Accounting

More investors are seeking companies that demonstrate clear, measurable, and verified climate action. ISO 14064 certification proves your commitment to sustainability. - Strategic Decision Making :
Accurate GHG accounting enables your organization to identify high-emission areas and implement effective carbon reduction strategies, leading to cost savings and operational improvements. - Market Differentiation :
Achieving ISO 14064 certification helps your organization stand out as a leader in sustainability, gaining competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Key Features of GHGs Accounting & Verification (ISO 14064)
GHG Inventory Development (ISO 14064-1)
The first step is to quantify and reportthe GHG emissions and removals within your organization. We help create a GHG inventory that tracks emissions across all relevant scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3).
Key Deliverables:
-
- GHG emissions inventory covering direct and indirect emissions.
- Data collection protocols and systems for tracking emissions.
- Identifying key emission sources (e.g., energy consumption, transportation, supply chain).
Defining Boundaries and Scope
Establish organizational and operational boundaries in line with ISO 14064 This includes deciding which entities, operations, or facilities will be included in the GHG accounting system, and categorizing emissions under Scope 1, 2, and 3.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Organizational boundaries and GHG boundary determination.
- Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy), and Scope 3 (value chain emissions) identification and classification.
GHG Reduction Target Setting
We assist in setting science-based reduction targetsfor your organization’s carbon emissions. These targets should align with global climate goals (e.g., limiting global warming to 1.5°C).
Key Deliverables:
-
- Science-based emissions reduction targets.
- Short-term and long-term carbon reduction strategies.
- Timeline and milestones for meeting emissions reduction goals.
GHG Reporting (ISO 14064-1)
We help prepare and submit a comprehensive GHG emissions report, which details your emissions inventory, reduction targets, and actions taken to reduce carbon emissions.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Transparent GHG emissions report.
- Key performance indicators (KPIs) to track emissions reduction progress.
- GHG reporting aligned with ISO 14064-1
Verification of GHG Emissions (ISO 14064-3)
Verification is a critical step to ensure the accuracy and reliability of GHG reporting. We assist in obtaining third-party verification of your GHG emissions data through ISO 14064-3
Key Deliverables:
-
- Independent third-party verification of GHG emissions data.
- Verification report ensuring compliance with ISO 14064-3.
- Identification of gaps or areas for improvement in emissions management.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
Implement ongoing monitoring systemsto track GHG emissions regularly and evaluate the effectiveness of carbon reduction initiatives. Our program ensures that your GHG management system evolves with changing regulations and new technologies.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Real-time monitoring systems for tracking emissions.
- Periodic performance reviews and audits.
- Continuous improvement plan for carbon reduction.
