ISO 14064, published in 2006 and revised in 2018-2019, forms part of the Environmental Management Standards (ISO 14000). It serves as a practical tool for governments and businesses to calculate and control greenhouse gas emissions and facilitates greenhouse gas emission trading. ISO 14064 consists of three parts:
ISO 14064-1: Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals
ISO 14064-2: Specification with guidance at the project level for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements
ISO 14064-3: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements
CQC enhances the credibility and trustworthiness of greenhouse gas reports for businesses by conducting third-party verifications. Currently, CQC has provided ISO 14064-1 organization greenhouse gas inventory verifications for over 1,000 client companies across more than 30 industries. Through greenhouse gas inventory verification, businesses can unearth their energy-saving and environmental protection potential while understanding their own greenhouse gas emissions. Serving as an internationally recognized greenhouse gas quantification tool, ISO 14064 also meets the requirements for carbon disclosure in the international and domestic supply chains.
