ISO 14064-1 & ISO 14064-2: Presentation Overview

The ISO 14064 series offers a globally recognized framework for quantifying, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals.

ISO 14064-1 focuses on the organizational level. It specifies principles and requirements for developing, quantifying, and reporting GHG inventories—essentially your company’s carbon footprint, including emissions and removals across Scopes 1 (direct), 2 (indirect), and relevant Scope 3 activities.
ISO 14064-2 is project-focused. It provides guidelines for quantifying, monitoring, and reporting GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements resulting from individual projects—for example, renewable energy, reforestation, or energy efficiency initiatives.

Define boundaries: Set organizational and operational boundaries using approaches like equity share or control—then classify GHG sources and removals by scope (1, 2, and 3).
Quantify emissions and removals: Use consistent methods and reliable data to measure organizational GHGs. Select a base year for tracking progress.
Transparent reporting: Reports should state the reporting period, data sources, calculation methods, and any assumptions or limitations.
Verification: Third-party checks are highly recommended to enhance credibility and support compliance with growing regulatory mandates.
Strategic integration: Inventory results underpin science-based target setting, regulatory filing, and sustainability reporting to CDP, TCFD, CSRD, and more.

Project definition & scope: Identify all GHG sources, sinks, and reservoirs relevant to the project.
Baseline scenario: Establish a scenario representing what would occur without the project—this “counterfactual” is the reference for calculating net reductions or enhancements.
Monitoring & data quality: Establish robust monitoring plans and ensure that data on project performance is collected and controlled.
Reporting & stakeholder communication: Consistently document and communicate project results in line with ISO/GHG program requirements.
Verification & validation: Use ISO 14064-3 processes for independent assurance that results are accurate and claims about carbon reductions are credible.

Regulatory alignment: Fulfills new 2025 climate disclosure laws in the EU, US, and globally by providing recognized methodologies for GHG measurement and reporting.
Credible claims: Third-party-verified inventories and project reports improve trust with investors, regulators, and customers.
Actionable insight: Supports setting and tracking progress against science-based targets and climate action plans.
Competitive advantage: ISO compliance and certification can boost eligibility for sustainable finance, procurement, and carbon markets.
Operational savings: Reveals emissions hotspots, driving resource efficiency and cost reduction.
Reputation and ESG leadership: Implementing ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14064-2 helps organizations build a robust pathway to climate accountability, competitive differentiation, and long-term sustainability leadership. Demonstrates genuine climate accountability and corporate responsibility.

Our solid approach and experience will help you implement the solid steps to certification and maintaining certification, including:

Gap Analysis: Assess your readiness position versus the
Action plan & Implementation: Deploy policies, technologies, and staff training to address identified gaps.
Check compliance requirements
Document the AS IS situation: Using date from your records and templates with reference materials create your current GHG emissions profile
Plan the TO BE situation: Design cost effective measures to achieve reduction goals
Training: Passing the messages and giving the tools necessary to your personnel
Internal Auditing: Making sure you are ready
Certification: Facilitate the process for getting maximum benefits from the certification audit by accredited certification bodies
