ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gases
ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gases
The ISO 14064-1:2018 Standard provides a complimentary set of tools for organisations, governments, and regions to quantify, monitor, report on and verify greenhouse gas emissions.
The focus on managing a carbon footprint together with an understanding of the various carbon tax emissions is a key focal point in today’s times. This Standard stipulates how to categorise and manage the various emissions and greenhouse gases.
What is ISO 14064-1:2018?
The standard is dedicated to greenhouse gases, which stipulates the specifications and requirements for organisations to quantify and report on the emission and removal of greenhouse gases (GHG). The Standard was founded due to the increasing amount of Carbon emissions by organisations. Organisations that conform to the Standard may note its contribution to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
ISO 14064-1:2018 outlines the principles below:
- Relevance;
- Competence;
- Consistency;
- Accuracy and;
- Transparency
- Conservativeness
These principles assist in ensuring that all evidence collected is accurate and that mitigation methods and opportunities are considered.
Why does an Organisation need ISO 14064-1:2018?
Through business quantification, reporting, and recognising areas of concern related to greenhouse gas emissions, you will have an in-depth understanding of your company’s current strengths and weaknesses. The objective of GHG validation or verification is to validate organisations that depend on a GHG assertion. Overall requirements relate to legal and contractual arrangements, responsibilities, the management of independence, and issues of liability and financing. ISO 14064:2018 offers you the competence clear, applicable, precise, reliable, and comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) quantifications for buildings, power plants, companies, marketable units, transportation systems, industrial plants, agricultural production, and supply-chain systems. The organisation will gain all-inclusive knowledge of the full carbon lifecycle assessment, starting at risk assessment and working towards the formation of GHG management programs through established concepts supporting the ISO 14064 framework. It also covers the emission of carbon quantification and emission drop principles, leading to the implementation of GHG/carbon compliance policies.
Having an ISO certification is important for companies and individuals as it enacts growth, profitability, and cost-efficiency.
