Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting (ISO 14064-1 / GOST R ISO 14064-1) and Product Carbon Footprint (ISO 14067 / GOST R ISO 14067)
Verification of greenhouse gas reporting by an experienced and reliable body such as Bureau Veritas demonstrates that a company is delivering on part of its sustainability goals.
The certification department of JSC "Bureau Veritas Certification Rus" is accredited by the Federal Accreditation Service as a Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification Body. Registration number in the Register of Accredited Persons (RAP)
DEMONSTRATE YOUR GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY REPORTING DATA
The ISO 14064-1 standard contains requirements and guidance for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals at the organizational level. Bureau Veritas offers accredited verification services in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14064-1 / GOST R ISO 14064-1 and has extensive experience in this field since 2006 (having audited most Russian JI projects under the Kyoto Protocol). Verification allows organizations to voluntarily demonstrate the reliability of their calculations and measurements through public reporting.
There are both voluntary standards and protocols, as well as mandatory reporting systems, under which enterprises can more thoroughly and transparently assess and report on their environmental impact. Using holistic, structured methodologies, these frameworks provide organizations with the information and guidance they need to reduce emissions.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Verification of a product's carbon footprint is an assessment of a company's methodology, processes and reporting, which confirms the volume of greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of the product's lifecycle.
Carbon footprint verification is the recognized best practice for companies seeking to track their carbon-equivalent emissions in order to reduce them. Reporting assessment serves as an additional monitoring tool, supporting continuous improvement, change management, and risk management on the path toward "net zero."
The primary criterion for product carbon footprint verification is the ISO / GOST R ISO 14067, which provides requirements and guidance for the quantification of a product's carbon footprint. ISO 14067 also validates carbon labelling (declarations on products or at points of sale). Verification through a trusted partner such as Bureau Veritas helps consumers make informed, positive purchasing choices and strengthens trust among all stakeholders.
KEY BENEFITS
PROVE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCURACY
(GHG Protocol) , is the original standard for greenhouse gas inventories, providing a framework for measuring and reporting emissions. It covers three main areas: operational emissions, emissions from the organization's energy supply, and the supply chain, as well as the transition to higher levels of production. Certain standards also cover the customer's point of use, and in some contexts, the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000) is preferred. Bureau Veritas can carry out verification with a view to subsequently demonstrating best practices to third parties and proving that the information conveyed is accurate and unbiased.
GAIN ACCESS TO THE EU CARBON MARKET
is the world's first and largest carbon market. Through its "cap-and-trade" system, it sets a limit on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by installations. For European industrial facilities of a certain size in carbon-intensive sectors, EU ETS reporting is mandatory, with accredited emissions verification enabling organizations to demonstrate compliance with EU ETS rules and secure entitlement to tradable emission allowances and credits.
ACHIEVING COMPLIANCE IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY
Verification of aviation emissions under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is mandatory for international aircraft operators in 117 member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Bureau Veritas's verification services enable airlines to ensure compliance and demonstrate environmental responsibility.
Training on Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification
Bureau Veritas training on the topic: "Corporate greenhouse gas emissions monitoring and reporting systems in light of new Russian regulatory and methodological requirements and the ISO 14064 series of standards."
