Greenhouse gas accounting and reporting

ISO 14060 Family GHG Services

Build a greenhouse gas inventory that is clear, traceable and ready for scrutiny. SustainZone supports organisations with carbon accounting, project assessment, product footprints and preparation for independent verification.

Practical support

From source data and calculation methods through to reporting, evidence records and annual updates.

A recognised structure for credible greenhouse gas information.

The ISO 14060 family provides a common framework for quantifying, monitoring, reporting, validating and verifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals. It can support organisations that need more consistent carbon information for customers, procurement, investors or voluntary reporting.

SustainZone helps clients apply the relevant requirements to their operations, projects and products. We turn scattered activity data and supplier evidence into a documented calculation process with clear boundaries, methods, assumptions and quality checks.

Support matched to the greenhouse gas statement you need.

We first identify the intended use of the information, then select the appropriate boundary, calculation approach and evidence requirements.

Organisation level

ISO 14064 1 GHG inventories

Organisational boundaries, direct and indirect emission categories, calculation methods, data quality controls, uncertainty considerations and a documented greenhouse gas report.

ISO 14064 1 information
Project level

ISO 14064 2 reduction projects

Project boundaries, baseline scenarios, relevant emission sources, monitoring arrangements and quantified emission reductions or removal enhancements.

ISO mitigation standards
Product level

ISO 14067 product carbon footprints

Product system boundaries, life cycle data, allocation methods, emission calculations, carbon hotspots and transparent reporting of a full or partial product carbon footprint.

ISO 14067 information
Assurance preparation

Verification readiness

Evidence review, calculation checks, issue tracking, documented assumptions and a clear audit trail to help the organisation prepare for an independent verification engagement.

How verification support works

The calculation is only part of the work.

A credible greenhouse gas statement needs consistent source data, transparent decisions and supporting records that another person can follow.

01

Boundary and relevance assessment

Define the organisation, project or product boundary and determine which emission sources and categories should be included.

02

Data collection framework

Create practical data requests, templates and evidence requirements for internal teams, sites and suppliers.

03

Emission calculations

Apply documented emission factors, conversions, allocation methods and estimation approaches appropriate to the available data.

04

Quality and uncertainty review

Check completeness, consistency and calculation logic while highlighting estimates, gaps and areas requiring stronger evidence.

05

GHG report and evidence pack

Prepare a structured report, methodology record, calculation file and supporting evidence index suitable for internal review.

06

Annual update process

Establish responsibilities, review controls and a repeatable timetable so the inventory can be maintained in future reporting periods.

Show what a project changes, not just what it promises.

For renewable energy, building upgrades, fleet changes, process improvements and other carbon projects, we can help establish the baseline, identify relevant sources, define monitoring requirements and quantify the resulting change in emissions.

Talk to our team

A clear route from initial scope to final reporting.

Step 01

Define the purpose

Confirm the intended users, reporting period and required standard.

Step 02

Set the boundary

Agree included entities, activities, projects, products and emission sources.

Step 03

Collect and assess

Gather source data and evidence while identifying gaps and assumptions.

Step 04

Calculate and review

Complete the calculations and apply proportionate quality checks.

Step 05

Report and prepare

Issue the report and organise the supporting evidence for review.

Keep the evidence behind the number.

SustainZone can support the ongoing collection and management of carbon data across sites, departments and suppliers. This provides a clearer record of where each number came from and which areas require attention.

  • Centralised activity data and supporting evidence
  • Emission factor and calculation records
  • Supplier data requests and progress tracking
  • Missing data and quality review actions
  • Confidence indicators for estimated information
  • Reporting period comparisons and exports

Preparation and verification are different roles.

We help clients improve the quality of their greenhouse gas information and prepare for review. Where accredited third party verification is required, that assurance must be provided independently by an appropriately recognised verification body.

How SustainZone supports the process

SustainZone can complete a readiness review, organise the evidence pack, respond to data questions and help correct issues raised during verification. We do not describe this consultancy support as accredited certification or independent verification.
