GHG Reporting and OSHISIS Solution
Understanding GHG Reporting: A Guide to ISO 14064-1
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are a significant contributor to climate change. Organizations across various industries are increasingly under pressure to measure, report, and reduce their GHG footprint. ISO 14064-1:2018 provides a standardized framework for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions.
Key Components of GHG Reporting:
- Quantification: Determining the amount of GHG emissions and removals associated with an organization’s activities.
- Reporting: Documenting and communicating the GHG inventory to stakeholders.
- Verification: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the reported data through independent review.
What to Quantify:
ISO 14064-1 categorizes GHG emissions into six categories:
- Direct Emissions: Emissions directly from the organization’s activities.
- Indirect Emissions (Scope 2): Emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling.
- Indirect Emissions (Scope 3): Emissions from upstream and downstream activities, such as transportation, product use, and waste disposal.
How to Report:
The reporting process involves:
- Defining the scope: Identifying the boundaries of the organization’s GHG inventory.
- Calculating emissions: Using standardized methodologies to quantify emissions.
- Preparing the report: Documenting the methodology, data, and results.
- Verifying the report: Ensuring accuracy and completeness through independent review.
