ISO 14064-1: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification

Festo Ltd takes responsibility for the UK operation's environmental impact and contributes to efforts to combat climate change. Festo Ltd operates as a carbon neutral organisation and uses the ISO 14064-1 standard externally audited by NQA to validate this claim to customers, employees and other stakeholders.

ISO 14064-1 is an internationally recognised standard that provides a framework for organizations to quantify and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By adhering to ISO 14064-1, companies can ensure transparent, consistent, and accurate reporting of their carbon footprint.

The standard outlines:

  • Requirements for GHG Inventories: Organisations must identify and measure direct and indirect GHG emissions across their operations.
  • Boundary Definitions: The standard helps define organizational and operational boundaries for reporting emissions, ensuring clarity and scope consistency.
  • Emission Reduction Planning: It encourages setting measurable goals for reducing GHG emissions, contributing to broader sustainability efforts.
  • Third-Party Verification: It facilitates independent verification of GHG reports, building stakeholder trust.

By complying with ISO 14064-1, we demonstrate our commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible climate action, ensuring our operations are aligned with global best practices for reducing carbon emissions.(Verra).
