Understanding ISO 14064, ISO 14068, and Net-Zero Standards

As businesses move from ambition to accountability on climate action, understanding the differences and connections between the various standards and frameworks, including ISO 14064, ISO 14068 and the emerging ISO Net-Zero Guidelines is becoming essential. At Sustainable Business Services, we’re helping organisations navigate this landscape, ensuring their carbon reporting and claims are credible, consistent and aligned to international standards. If you’re working on your next carbon footprint report or tender submission, this is worth a read 👇 #NetZero #ISO14064 #ISO14068 #CarbonNeutrality #Sustainability #SBS #EnvironmentalCompliance

Title: Building Credibility in Climate Action: The Importance of ISO 14061 Standards 🌱 In today’s sustainability-focused world, organizations are under increasing pressure to measure and disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accurately. The ISO 14061 standard provides a globally recognized framework that helps companies account for and report their GHG emissions consistently and transparently. By following ISO 14061, businesses can: ✅ Enhance the accuracy and comparability of their carbon footprint data ✅ Strengthen climate-related disclosures aligned with global reporting frameworks (like the GHG Protocol and CDP) ✅ Build trust with stakeholders through credible verification processes ✅ Identify opportunities for emission reductions and efficiency improvements Implementing ISO 14061 isn’t just about compliance—it’s about commitment. A commitment to transparency, accountability, and a sustainable future. 🌍 As climate reporting becomes central to ESG strategies, standards like ISO 14061 will be the backbone of credible sustainability action. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ISO14061 #GHGReporting #NetZero #ESG #CarbonAccounting #SustainableBusiness

A sustainable future requires shared responsibility. No one can tackle climate change alone. Progress demands partnership – and a common framework to guide it.. ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management, gives organizations a common framework to reduce their environmental impact, cut waste and protect natural resources. On World Standards Day 2025, we celebrate how standards like ISO 14001 enable partnerships that drive real change. From SMEs to global enterprises, adopting ISO 14001 signals a commitment to sustainability and supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

There are many ISO standards that are related to GHG emissions, how should we navigate them?! Let’s start with ISO14064! ISO14064 is an internationally recognised standard that focuses on the identification of GHG emitting sources from an organization’s activities and processes. This is an important point to distinguish between ISO14064 and ISO14067 - which focuses on product-level emissions. Every activity within an organization can potentially be associated with generating GHG emission. To be able to obtain one figure of “a company’s carbon footprint”, the process is seldom straightforward. One common situation SMEs find themselves in is that they put aside time to establish a project to measure their carbon footprint. Everyone crunches their numbers and puts together the needed input to calculate their footprint then the process stops there. Next year, different people scramble together the numbers in a different way and the outcomes are not comparable to the first year. This makes it difficult for the teams to know whether what they’ve done has been effective in reducing carbon emissions, and it is not possible to present these results to external stakeholders. ISO14064 can help organizations to get onto the right foot on the get go. The standard provides guidance on: 📐Setting the scope of an organization’s carbon footprint, and areas that involve carbon emission to establish a baseline for measuring future reduction efforts. 📐Creating reduction activities and targets that can be traced back to the data sources so that internal teams can set individual objectives in achieving carbon reduction in a relatable manner. 📐Establishing internal processes to maintain the necessary data sources for a consistent measurement of carbon emissions and reporting mechanism. The objective is to accurately portray a snapshot of the organization’s progress when compared against the baseline.

What is ISO 14065:2020? 🌍 ISO 14065:2020 is the international standard for organizations that verify and validate environmental information declarations. This standard ensures the reliable, impartial, and consistent assessment of environmental claims. It specifically regulates the competence and functioning of verification organizations operating in critical areas such as greenhouse gas emissions, green bonds, and climate finance. Main Topics Covered: *Verification/Validation Process Principles (Professional Skepticism, Impartiality) *Organizational Structure and Resource Requirements *Personnel Competence and Accreditation Criteria *Process Management (Planning, Implementation, Decision-Making) *Transparency and Confidentiality Requirements Specific Application Areas: ✓ Greenhouse Gas Verification ✓ Green Bond Validation ✓ Financial Reporting on Climate Change Note: This document includes industry-specific requirements in addition to the general requirements of ISO/IEC 17029:2019. #ISO14065 #EnvironmentalVerification #Sustainability #GreenBonds #GreenhouseGas #Sustainnova

🌍 "You can’t reduce what you don’t measure." As climate change accelerates, this principle has never been more relevant. For organizations, accurate carbon accounting isn’t just a regulatory box to check—it’s the foundation for credible sustainability strategies, investor confidence, and long-term business resilience. Enter stage right: ISO 14064. This international standard provides a structured framework for: ✔️ Quantifying and reporting organizational GHG emissions ✔️ Designing and verifying carbon reduction projects ✔️ Ensuring third-party credibility through independent validation The benefits go far beyond compliance. Companies that measure and manage their emissions often see direct cost savings, risk reduction, stronger stakeholder trust, and even higher returns on investment. But the journey isn’t without challenges—defining boundaries, ensuring data accuracy, and integrating GHG accounting into business processes can be complex. In this blog by Chanchal Gupta, she breaks down ISO 14064’s three parts, explore its role in credible carbon accounting, and outline the real-world business impacts. https://lnkd.in/gr29_-MA How is your organization approaching carbon footprint measurement and verification? #CarbonAccounting #ESG
