ISO 14064: Measuring and Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

What Is ISO 14064?

ISO 14064 is an international standard dedicated to the quantification, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

It is a key tool for organisations seeking to address climate change in a structured and systematic way.

What Is ISO 14064 Used For?

The standard enables organisations to:

• calculate greenhouse gas emissions;
• ensure reliable and verifiable data;
• support emissions reduction strategies;
• improve transparency towards stakeholders and the market.

It is often used as a foundation for ESG and sustainability policies.

The Structure of the Standard

ISO 14064 is divided into three parts:

• ISO 14064-1: greenhouse gas emissions at the organisational level;
• ISO 14064-2: greenhouse gas emissions reduction projects;
• ISO 14064-3: verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements.

This structure allows for a flexible and adaptable approach.

Why Is It Becoming Increasingly Important?

Companies are increasingly expected to demonstrate their environmental commitment.

ISO 14064 enables organisations to:

• prevent greenwashing;
• meet regulatory and market requirements;
• prepare for the transition towards a more sustainable economy.

The Regulatory and Market Context

In recent years, greenhouse gas emissions reporting has become increasingly important in both regulatory and financial contexts.

Customers, investors and institutions require reliable and comparable environmental data. ISO 14064 is an internationally recognised tool for meeting these expectations, supporting organisations in aligning with reporting obligations, ESG criteria and medium- to long-term sustainability strategies.
