Energy ISO 14064 – Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Verification
ISO 14064 provides industry and government with a set of tools to develop programs aimed at reducing GHG emissions.

It will also assist your organization to operate within emissions trading schemes. Call our experts today for more information.
SGS can audit your organization against ISO 14064 parts 1 and 2 to provide verification of your greenhouse gas emissions and reductions. Working to this international standard increases your credibility in the marketplace, and demonstrates your commitment to operating in a greener way. Verification by our experts ensures the independence of your assessments and reports.
The ISO 14064 standard comprises three parts:

- Part 2 - details requirements for quantifying, monitoring and reporting emission reductions and removal enhancements from GHG projects, and
- Part 3 - provides requirements and guidance for the conducting of GHG information validation and verification (and is applicable to verification organizations such as SGS)
