Assessing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) using an independent standard will ensure credibility and offer transparency to emissions reporting. Such a standard is ISO 14064 and it can be used by organisations participating in a number of trading, project or voluntary emissions reduction mechanisms.
In order to create and ultimately sell a carbon credit, it must be verified by an independent auditor to the standard of ISO 14064
In response to global climate change, governments and industries around the globe are setting targets to bring about reductions in GHG levels.
The ISO 14064 standards inject credibility and assurance to GHG emissions reports and claims made in regard to reductions or removal of GHGs.
The ISO 14064 Green House Gas Standards were developed by an International Working Group of 45 countries, with the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) acting as World Secretariat. These standards are designed to help organisations and governments measure, report and verify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
