Measuring, managing, and verifying carbon footprint

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are among the most critical challenges faced by the businesses today. Organisations are expected to measure, manage, and transparently disclose their carbon footprint in line with GHG Protocol and ISO 14064.

Eurofins Assurance offers end-to-end carbon management services, from GHG inventory development to emission reduction roadmap and independent assurance/ verification, to support businesses in reaching their ESG goals

What are GHG Protocol and ISO 14064?

The GHG Protocol is the most widely used standard for GHG accounting, providing guidance for measuring and managing emissions for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.

ISO 14064 is an international standard that specifies principles and requirements for quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and verifying GHG emissions as well as removals at the organisational and project levels.

GHG Protocol & ISO 14064 are largely adopted by businesses to support their environmental sustainability reporting under climate-related frameworks such as Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), CDP, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and other ESG reporting.

Eurofins Assurance’s approach to Carbon Management

To provide a detailed & transparent understanding of your GHG emissions, our approach is based on three key pillars:

GHG verification report and assurance statement

Data evaluated and verified by knowledgeable third-party companies offers an unbiased and objective view of the data, and this is why our Carbon Management services are valuable. We provide independent GHG verification services aligned with ISO 14064-3 and international assurance standards. 

Businesses will obtain a GHG verification report detailing findings against standards covered. They will also receive assurance statement that states the scope of services and contains important information such as evaluation criteria and conclusion.

Benefits of Carbon Management and GHG Verification

Businesses that implement a defined and robust carbon management policy combined with independent verification enjoy numerous benefits:

• Independent verification adds extra layer of confidence among stakeholders, enhancing data credibility.
• Carbon Management aligned to multiple climate disclosure requirements and different reporting frameworks removes additional effort from repeated reporting preparation, greatly improving the businesses’ reporting readiness.
• Business can demonstrate a higher level of transparency and accountability to investors, regulators, customers and public by committing to Carbon Management by third-party.
• Businesses can position their organisations as proactive players in the field of sustainability for better brand image and reputation against competitors.
