Climate change caused by human activities has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing the world. It will continue to impact businesses and society for decades to come. Climate change affects both human and natural systems, leading to significant consequences for resource availability, economic activity, and human well-being. In response, international, regional, national, and local initiatives are being developed and implemented by both public and private sectors to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere and facilitate climate change adaptation.

An effective and progressive response to the urgent threat of climate change is required, based on the best available scientific knowledge.

What is iso 14067?

ISO 14067 is an international standard that establishes principles, requirements, and guidelines for the quantification and reporting of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This standard plays a crucial role in supporting climate change mitigation efforts. Additionally, ISO has developed various documents that help transform scientific knowledge into practical tools for addressing climate change.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation initiatives, including those based on ISO 14067, rely on the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals. By implementing this standard, businesses can enhance transparency and accuracy in measuring their product’s carbon footprint, ultimately supporting global sustainability efforts.

Key Aspect of ISO 14067

ISO 14067  use of LCA methodology to evaluate all stages of a product’s life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal, to calculate its total greenhouse gas emissions ISO 14067 requires a comprehensive (Life cycle assessment to quantify the CFPs accurately. An LCA involves four key phases:

1. Goal and Scope Definition: This phase establishes the study’s objectives and boundaries, including the product system, functional unit, and specific GHGs to be assessed.
2. Life Cycle Inventory (LCI): In this phase, data is collected on all relevant inputs (e.g., energy, materials) and outputs (e.g., emissions, waste) associated with the product system throughout its life cycle.
3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA): This phase evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the product system based on the LCI data, focusing on GHG emissions and removals.
4. Life Cycle Interpretation: The final phase involves analyzing the LCI and LCIA results to draw conclusions, identify areas for improvement, and communicate the findings.

Benefit of implementing iso 14067 in your organization

ISO 14067 helps organizations, governments, industries, service providers, and communities by ensuring clarity and consistency in calculating the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). By using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with a focus on climate change, it offers several benefits:

• Prevents shifting environmental burdens between life cycle stages or different products & provides clear requirements for measuring PCF.
• It helps track and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• Identifies opportunities to increase GHG removal and reduce emissions & Supports the transition to a low-carbon economy.
• Improves transparency and credibility in PCF reporting.
• Aids in optimizing product design, sourcing, production, transportation, and recycling.
• Assists in developing GHG management strategies and improving supply chain efficiency & ensures reliable PCF data for decision-making.
