ISO 14064 / GHG reporting

ISO 14064 / GHG reporting

What is ISO 14064?

ISO 14064 is an internationally recognised standard that provides a clear framework for measuring, quantifying, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

It enables organisations to:

• Quantify their carbon footprint accurately
• Establish credible GHG inventories
• Demonstrate transparency and accountability in sustainability reporting
• Prepare for regulatory, investor, and customer climate-related requirements

ISO 14064 is widely used by governments, multinational corporations, and supply chains as the global reference standard for GHG reporting.

What is GHG Reporting?

GHG reporting refers to the systematic identification, calculation, and disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions arising from an organisation’s activities.

GHG emissions are typically categorised into:

• Scope 1 – Direct emissions (e.g. fuel combustion, company vehicles)
• Scope 2 – Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, or cooling
• Scope 3 – Other indirect emissions across the value chain (e.g. suppliers, logistics, business travel)

Accurate GHG reporting allows organisations to understand their environmental impact, set reduction targets, and respond confidently to sustainability requirements.
