ISO 14064-1:2018 to Meet Sustainability Requirements in Singapore

As sustainability expectations intensify across Singapore’s regulatory and corporate landscape, organisations are increasingly required to quantify and disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with credibility and accuracy.

Implementing ISO 14064-1:2018 enables organisations to establish a structured, internationally recognised framework for Scope 1 & 2 GHG reporting in Singapore, supporting compliance, investor transparency, and alignment with the SG Green Plan 2030.

Noris Global provides professional consultancy services to design, implement, and verify ISO 14064-aligned GHG inventories for organisations operating in Singapore.

What Is ISO 14064-1:2018?

ISO 14064-1:2018 specifies principles and requirements for:

  • Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals
  • Designing organisational GHG inventories
  • Managing emission data quality
  • Reporting carbon footprints transparently
  • Preparing for third-party verification

It is globally recognised and widely adopted by corporations, government-linked entities, listed companies, and supply chain partners.

Unlike generic sustainability reporting, ISO 14064-1 provides a technically structured methodology consistent with international carbon accounting protocols.

Why ISO 14064-1 Is Important in Singapore

Singapore’s sustainability ecosystem is evolving rapidly, driven by:

  • Carbon pricing regulations
  • ESG disclosure expectations
  • Supply chain decarbonisation demands
  • Investor transparency requirements
  • National climate commitments

Organisations implementing ISO 14064-1 strengthen their sustainability governance and position themselves to:

  • Meet corporate sustainability requirements in Singapore
  • Support ESG reporting frameworks
  • Enhance credibility with regulators and stakeholders
  • Prepare for climate-related disclosures

Scope 1 & 2 GHG Reporting Singapore

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.

Supporting Sustainability to Meet SG Green Plan 2030

The Singapore Green Plan 2030 outlines national targets including:

  • Reduction of emissions intensity
  • Expansion of renewable energy
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Sustainable enterprise transformation

Organisations that implement ISO 14064-1 contribute directly to these national objectives by:

  • Establishing credible carbon baselines
  • Setting science-aligned reduction targets
  • Tracking year-on-year emission performance
  • Supporting corporate climate strategies

ISO-aligned GHG reporting strengthens alignment with government sustainability initiatives and future regulatory expectations.
