ISO 14068-1 is the globally recognized standard for climate change management and transitioning to low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission activities. Built upon and replacing PAS 2060 (carbon neutrality), ISO 14068-1 specifies principles, requirements and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality through quantifying, reducing and offsetting your carbon footprint.
The global standard provides a methodology for assessing carbon neutrality, ensuring that efforts are true, fair, science-based and transparent. It also unites carbon neutral and net zero to remove doubt and provides a defined structure that supports the journey to carbon neutral/net zero.
ISO 14068-1 builds upon existing GHG quantification, reporting, validation and verification standards, including ISO 14064-1 (quantify and report GHG emissions and removals), ISO 14064-3 (verifying and validating GHG statements) and ISO 14067 (GHGs – carbon footprint of products).
What are the benefits of ISO 14068-1 verification?
Verification follows successful completion of an audit. The benefits include:
• Plan and achieve genuine climate management goals
• Enhance credibility and trust in your carbon neutrality claims
• Promote ambitious, science-based GHG emissions reduction strategies
• Support for your carbon neutral/net zero journey
• A comprehensive value chain and life cycle approach to carbon management
• Builds upon existing international standards like ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3 and ISO 14067
• Contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1-16
We can help you achieve verification with an ISO 14068-1 audit, including a gap assessment and benchmarking. We will identify your competency and support you to achieve ongoing improvement.
