ISO 14064-1, part of the ISO 14064 standards family, provides organizations with tools to assess their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specifically, ISO 14064-1:2018 offers guidance on estimating and verifying both total emissions and removals of greenhouse gases, empowering businesses to evaluate their environmental impact, monitor environmental activities, and ensure compliance with global standards. Tuvcertiq assists companies in implementing this standard to enhance accountability and improve environmental performance.
ISO 14064-1 Update
The latest update to ISO 14064-1 reflects advances to make it more effective for today’s climate challenges. This revised standard includes improvements in GHG accounting, data accuracy, and reporting standards, aligning closer with global environmental protocols. Tuvcertiq stays updated on these changes to support clients in fully complying with the latest requirements.
ISO 14064-1 Certification
ISO 14064-1 certification signifies an organization’s commitment to accurate GHG emissions reporting and environmental management. Tuvcertiq’s certification service provides independent verification, acknowledging your organization’s dedication to measuring, monitoring, and managing emissions responsibly.
Certification Process
Certification involves an external evaluation, where Tuvcertiq verifies compliance with ISO standards and diligent GHG reporting. Achieving this certification fosters trustworthy relationships with stakeholders, clients, and regulators, showcasing your commitment to environmental accountability.
Enhanced Environmental Credibility: Certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to sustainability, building trust among customers, stakeholders, and the public.
Regulatory Compliance: Countries are increasingly raising environmental standards. ISO 14064-1 certification helps your organization meet these legal requirements, avoiding potential fines and reinforcing your commitment to legal compliance.
Competitive Advantage: Certification allows organizations to differentiate themselves as environmentally responsible, appealing to clients, partners, and investors focused on sustainability.
Data-Driven Decision-Making: ISO 14064-1 provides data to track and manage GHG emissions, enabling companies to make proactive adjustments to reduce environmental impact.
Contribution to Climate Goals: Organizations implementing ISO 14064-1 support international and national climate goals, such as those outlined in the Paris Agreement.
To achieve ISO 14064-1:2018, companies must meet these requirements:
GHG Inventory Development: Identify all major sources of GHG emissions, both direct and indirect.
Data Collection and Documentation: Collect precise data, ensuring all calculations are accurate for reliable reporting.
Setting GHG Emissions Boundaries: Define emission sources within organizational control, covering Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (other indirect) emissions.
Measurement and Monitoring: Track and report GHG emissions as per ISO 14064-1 guidelines.
Preparation and Planning: Develop a climate strategy, set reduction targets, and assemble a team to oversee the certification process.
Data Collection and Inventory Creation: Gather information for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Internal Audit and Gap Analysis: Conduct an internal assessment to identify and address any gaps in compliance.
Implementation and Monitoring: Train staff and begin regular GHG emissions measurement and management.
External Verification and Certification: Partner with Tuvcertiq for an external audit and certification. Tuvcertiq’s expert auditors provide actionable feedback to help you achieve certification.
Continuous Improvement: Regularly assess and update your GHG management system to ensure ongoing compliance.
Reporting and Verification: Produce and verify GHG reports according to ISO 14064-1:2018 standards.
Certification costs depend on several factors:
Company Size and Complexity: Larger organizations with multiple emission sources require more extensive audits.
Scope of Certification: Costs vary depending on whether the certification covers all or some emission scopes.
Pre-Certification Assessment: Some organizations choose a preliminary assessment to streamline the certification process, which may incur additional costs but provides long-term savings.
While costs vary, companies find that ISO 14064-1 certification yields long-term financial and environmental benefits, reducing costs associated with emissions management and improving sustainability practices.
Corporate Identity and Experience: Tuvcertiq is a global leader in certification and inspection, experienced in a range of industries including energy, manufacturing, and environmental management.

Q. What Is the Difference Between ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol?
ISO 14064-1 provides guidelines for measuring and reporting GHG emissions, while the GHG Protocol is a more comprehensive framework. ISO 14064-1 focuses on certification, whereas the GHG Protocol is widely used for corporate GHG reporting.
Q. What Is ISO 14064-1:2018 Verification?
Verification in ISO 14064-1:2018 refers to an independent assessment confirming that a GHG report meets the standard’s requirements, enhancing credibility for stakeholders.
Q. How to Implement ISO 14064-1:2018 ?
Start by identifying your emission sources, setting boundaries, and defining goals. Tuvcertiq can provide expert guidance on the implementation and verification processes.
Q. What Is the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)?
The Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) is the total GHG emissions from direct, owned sources and indirect emissions. ISO 14064-1 provides a framework for calculating and reporting this footprint.
Q. What Is the Difference Between ISO 14064 and ISO 50001?
ISO 14064 addresses greenhouse gas emissions management, while ISO 50001 focuses on energy management. Both contribute to climate action but target different aspects of environmental management.
