ISO 14067 (Product Carbon Footprint) & 14064 (Corporate Carbon Footprint)
Overview Summary
ISO 14067 specifies the principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of products. It provides a consistent framework for assessing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over a product’s complete life cycle, ensuring transparency and comparability.
ISO 14064 provides the methodology for quantifying, monitoring, reporting and verifying GHG emissions at the organisational level.
Together, these standards form a comprehensive system for product‑level and corporate‑level carbon accounting and verification for companies from all sectors and industries.
Scope of Coverage
ISO 14067 applies to any product or product system and covers GHG emissions associated with raw material acquisition, production, distribution, use and end‑of‑life.
ISO 14064 applies to companies and organisations seeking to quantify and verify GHG emissions, including direct and indirect emissions structured in 3 scopes.
The standard series covers organisational inventories, project‑based emissions reductions and third‑party verification.
Affected Entities
ISO 14067 is used by manufacturers, brands and suppliers that need credible product carbon footprint results for reporting or customer communication.
ISO 14064 applies to any organisation that must quantify and report GHG emissions for regulatory, voluntary or market‑based disclosure purposes, including corporate sustainability reporting.
Applicability & Compliance Timeline
ISO 14067:2018 and ISO 14064:2018 are published international standards used voluntarily unless required by clients, regulators or programmes such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or emissions trading systems.
ISO 14067 was confirmed as the current version in 2024.
What This Means for Companies
Using ISO 14067 and ISO 14064 enables companies to establish robust, science‑based GHG inventories and product‑level footprints that withstand external verification. These standards support compliance with regulatory requirements, improve supply chain transparency and strengthen climate governance. Meo Carbon Solutions offers lifecycle assessment, emissions inventory development and verification support aligned with both ISO standards to any sector and industry.
