What Are the Benefits of Implementing ISO 14068?
Firstly, what is ISO 14068?
ISO 14068 is an international standard providing principles, requirements, and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. It focuses on quantifying, reducing and offsetting carbon footprints and prioritising direct and indirect GHG emission reductions and offsetting.
It is almost universally recognised that organisations need to do more to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. Recently, the Government has been putting more pressure onto organisations to consider their journey to net zero, therefore having a clear plan to reduce your carbon as a business has never been more paramount.
Benefits of ISO 14068:
- Enhances the transparency of your environmental impart through effective measuring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Helps you to set short-term and long-term goals for reducing these emissions.
- Ensures you stay ahead of regulatory requirements and align with The Environment Agency’s climate change schemes and global climate goals.
- Offsets your residual carbon footprint by investing in ethical, impactful carbon credits.
- Shares best practice with your supply chain and to the wider economy.
- Makes cost savings associated with more responsible use of natural resources.
Therefore, implementing ISO 14068 offers numerous benefits for organisations aiming to achieve carbon neutrality. By adopting this standard, businesses can enhance transparency in their environmental impact, set and achieve emission reduction goals, and stay ahead of regulatory requirements. Overall, ISO 14068 not only supports compliance with climate change initiatives but also positions organisations as leaders in sustainability and environmental stewardship.
