Benefits of greenhouse gas (GHG) verification

Reporting of carbon emissions is becoming a standard practice for companies looking to comply with regulations, satisfy customer requests or demonstrate to stakeholders that they are measuring and managing their climate impact. 

New GHG programs are continuously being implemented around the globe by country or region, both voluntary and mandatory. Examples include Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements in the U.K., plus reporting requirements in South Africa, Germany and Singapore. Additionally, more than 8,400 companies reported to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2019, showing a growing commitment to GHG reporting.

As GHG reporting becomes commonplace, it is important to assure that GHG statements contain accurate information. ISO 14064-3 provides a framework for evaluating GHG related statements and demonstrates commitment to reducing climate change.
