Implementation Process:

The ISO 14064 certification follows a structured five-phase approach to help your organization accurately quantify, manage, and verify greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Each phase ensures credible, transparent reporting aligned with international carbon-accounting standards and net-zero objectives.

1️⃣ Gap Assessment: Evaluate your existing environmental and energy-management practices against ISO 14064 requirements. Identify emission sources, data-collection gaps, and areas requiring methodology or boundary clarification.

2️⃣ Data Collection & Documentation: Develop or refine your GHG inventory plan, emission-factor databases, and calculation models. Establish clear documentation for data sources, activity records, and organizational boundaries in line with ISO 14064-1.

3️⃣ Quantification & Monitoring: Quantify direct and indirect GHG emissions across scopes 1, 2, and 3. Implement ongoing monitoring to ensure accuracy, consistency, and traceability of data for internal and external review.

4️⃣ Internal Verification: Conduct internal audits to assess the integrity of your GHG data and calculation methods. Identify potential discrepancies or non-conformities and prepare for third-party verification.

5️⃣ External Verification & Certification: Undergo independent ISO 14064 verification by an accredited body. Once verified, your organization receives certification recognizing the credibility of its GHG reporting and commitment to continual improvement in carbon management.
