🌱 Credible climate action starts with reliable GHG information.
Understanding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions helps organisations identify emission sources, track progress and make informed decisions.
GHG accounting covers:
▪ Scope 1 — Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organisation.
▪ Scope 2 — Indirect emissions from generating purchased energy.
▪ Scope 3 — Other indirect emissions across the organisation’s value chain.
Clear reporting boundaries, reliable data and supporting evidence form the foundation of a credible GHG inventory.
How do verification and validation support confidence?
🔍 Verification assesses historical GHG information against agreed criteria.
🔍 Validation assesses the reasonableness of assumptions and methods supporting future GHG projections.
The ISO 14064 series provides frameworks for organisation-level GHG inventories, GHG projects, and verification and validation of GHG statements.
