Carbon footprint of Product's ISO 14067

ISO 14067:2018 is designed to be universally applicable, regardless of industry or product type. Organizations can use it to calculate and report the carbon footprint of individual products, enabling them to take meaningful action to reduce emissions.

For organizations already managing sustainability through standards like ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) or ISO 50001 (Energy Management), ISO 14067 can be seamlessly integrated to complement existing efforts. This integration simplifies implementation, avoids redundancy, and fosters a comprehensive approach to sustainability.

ISO 14067 is a globally recognized standard for assessing the carbon footprint of products. It provides a robust methodology for identifying and quantifying GHG emissions throughout a product’s lifecycle. Key aspects include:

• Comprehensive lifecycle assessment (LCA) to calculate the CFP.
• Clear reporting guidelines to ensure transparency and accuracy.
• Integration with organizational sustainability strategies.
• Alignment with international climate frameworks such as the Paris Agreement.
• Emphasis on continuous improvement and emission reduction strategies.

These requirements help organizations reduce their environmental impact, demonstrate accountability, and achieve long-term sustainability goals.

ISO 14067 Documentation Requirements

The implementation of ISO 14067 requires thorough documentation to ensure accuracy and credibility in reporting. Essential documentation includes:

• The scope and boundary of the CFP study.
• Detailed lifecycle assessment (LCA) data and methodology.
• Calculation of GHG emissions using recognized emission factors.
• Results and reports detailing the CFP of the product.
• Evidence of emission reduction initiatives and improvement strategies.

Maintaining accurate and consistent documentation is critical for successful certification and effective communication of environmental performance.

• Improved Environmental Performance: Identify and reduce product-related GHG emissions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meet national and international climate-related regulations.
• Market Differentiation: Strengthen your brand as a sustainable and environmentally conscious business.

• Stakeholder Trust: Enhance transparency and build confidence with customers and partners.
• Cost Efficiency: Optimize processes and reduce energy consumption to lower operational costs.
• Global Alignment: Contribute to global climate goals and demonstrate leadership in sustainability.
