ISO 14067

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created ISO 14067, a standard that outlines the criteria, requirements, and principles for measuring and disclosing a product’s carbon footprint (PCF). This standard supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Change and is compatible with life cycle assessment (LCA) standards like ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.

Benefits:

• By presenting clear and concise information regarding the carbon footprint of products, ISO 14067 empowers consumers to make knowledgeable purchasing decisions. This gives customers the power to select goods with less of an impact on the environment and to support businesses who place a high priority on sustainability.
• Businesses can obtain insights into their greenhouse gas emissions and find possibilities for emission reductions across the product life cycle by quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of their products. This helps in the endeavour to lessen the effects of climate change and the environment.
• Companies can set themselves apart in the market by showcasing their dedication to sustainability by measuring and disclosing the carbon footprint of their goods. Increased market share and brand loyalty among environmentally conscious consumers may result from this.
