ISO 14064-1

What is ISO 14064-1 Verification?

ISO 14064-1 verification is independent third party confirmation that an organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions reporting is accurate, complete and prepared in accordance with the ISO 14064-1 standard. It strengthens the credibility of climate related disclosures.

Many businesses are beginning to calculate, report, and declare their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in an effort to play their part towards the UK Government's commitment to reach net-zero by 2050.

By working towards and achieving Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Verification, organisations can ensure that their carbon footprint calculations are accurate, thorough and developed to conform with ISO 14064-1.

A combination of legislative, tender and customer requirements has led to a growth in organisations needing to determine and report their GHG inventories. The benefits of understanding these also helps to support companies in their risk management, cost analysis, and reputation management strategies.

To help you ensure your GHG Inventory (carbon footprint) claims are credible, NQA provides 3rd party verification in accordance with ISO 14064-1. This is a specification for the quantifying of emissions and removals.

Additional approaches may be adopted to support your compliance, including:

• GHG Protocol
• DEFRA Environmental Reporting Guidelines
   

See below the key steps towards achieving ISO 14064-1 Verification:

• Setting the scope or boundaries of what is being measured
• Quantifying your emissions and removals
