ISO 14064, ISO 14065, and ISO 14067: Understanding Their Unique Roles in Greenhouse Gas Management and Carbon Footprint Reporting

In today's world, sustainability and environmental responsibility have become essential aspects of business strategy and operations. Companies around the world are striving to reduce their carbon footprint and have a better control on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Central to these efforts are three key ISO standards: ISO 14064, ISO 14065, and ISO 14067.

These standards provide a structured framework for organizations to measure, report, and verify their GHG emissions, and to quantify the carbon footprint of their products, however, people often confuse about these three standards.

It is important to understand that ISO 14064 focuses on the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, ISO 14065 sets the requirements for the bodies that validate and verify these emissions, and ISO 14067 deals with the carbon footprint of products. I will explore the details of each standard in below by highlighting their unique features, benefits, and how they interconnect to support comprehensive environmental management.

This article aims to provide a concise overview of the standards' key principles and their relevance to organizational applications. It underscores the importance for organizations to gain a foundational understanding of their specific requirements before allocating resources towards compliance endeavors.
