ISO 14064
An internationally recognised standard designed to support organisations accurately quantify and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
By providing a consistent and transparent framework for GHG accounting,
IS0 14064 enables organisations to better manage their carbon footprint and contribute to their sustainability goals.
ISO 14064 is suitable for organisations seeking to adhere to globally recognised standards for GHG reporting. It is suitable for companies that are:
- Looking to meet voluntary or regulatory carbon reporting requirements.
- Participating in carbon markets or emissions trading schemes.
- Undertaking verifiable GHG reduction projects and initiatives.

ISO 14064 is structured into three key parts:
- ISO 14064-1:Outlines the principles and requirements for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removals at an organisational level. It provides guidance on maintaining comprehensive GHG inventories.
- ISO 14064-2:Provides guidelines for designing and managing GHG reduction projects, helping organisations track their progress in cutting emissions.
- ISO 14064-3:Covers the validation and verification of GHG statements, ensuring that reported carbon emissions data is credible and accurate.
How to comply with ISO 14064
- Define boundaries: Set clear operational and organisational boundaries for measuring GHG emissions, including Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy), and Scope 3 (other indirect emissions).
- Collect data: Gather relevant data on energy consumption, transportation, waste generation, and other emission-producing activities.
- Calculate emissions: Use standardised emission factors and methodologies specified in ISO 14064 to convert activity data into carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).
- Verification: Engage with a third-party verifier to ensure that your GHG inventory and reduction claims meet the rigorous standards of ISO 14064-3.
- Reporting: Report your GHG emissions transparently in line with ISO 14064 guidelines, ensuring accountability and clear communication with stakeholders.
