ISO 14067 Carbon Footprinting

• In today's sustainability-driven markets, customers, regulators, and investors demand transparency on environmental impacts. The ISO 14067:2018 standard enables organizations to quantify, report, and reduce the carbon footprint of their products, providing a scientific and verifiable foundation for low-carbon innovation.
• Our ISO 14067- compliant Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) assessment services help you measure the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across a product’s life cycle, identify emission hotspots, and enhance your climate strategy.

What is ISO 14067?

• ISO 14067:2018 – Greenhouse gases – Carbon footprint of products – Requirements and guidelines for quantification is an international standard that specifies the principles, requirements, and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP).
• It is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) principles as defined in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, but it focuses specifically on GHG emissions expressed in CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e).

Scope of CFP Includes:

• Cradle-to-Gate (raw material to factory gate)
• Cradle-to-Grave (entire product life cycle)
• Cradle-to-Cradle (includes recycling loops)

Who Needs ISO 14067 Footprinting?

Our services are ideal for:

• Exporters targeting carbon-regulated markets 
• Manufacturers seeking to validate low-carbon products
• FMCG, textile, packaging, electronics and automotive companies
• Startups aiming to meet green investor criteria
• R&D and sustainability teams evaluating design alternatives

Our ISO 14067 Carbon Footprinting Process

We offer comprehensive, audit-ready support through the following streamlined steps:

1.    Goal & Scope Definition

• Set the purpose (eco-labeling, compliance, etc.), define the functional unit, system boundaries, and key assumptions.

2.    Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)

• Collect data on raw materials, energy, transport, packaging, use, and disposal—engaging supply chain partners as needed.

3.    GHG Calculation & Modeling

• Apply IPCC-aligned emission factors using databases like Eco invent or GaBi; convert all emissions to CO₂e using GWPs.

4.    Result Analysis

• Identify emission hotspots, assess reduction opportunities, and benchmark against internal or industry standards.

5.    Reporting & Verification

• Deliver ISO 14067-compliant documentation, support third-party verification, and generate carbon footprint labels and summaries.

Why ISO 14067 Matters

1. Carbon Transparency

• Build trust with credible, data-driven GHG disclosures.

2. Market Access

• Meet global requirements like EU Green Deal, CBAM, and sustainable procurement mandates.

3. Eco-Innovation

• Enable low-carbon product design by identifying emission hotspots.

4. ESG & Investor Confidence

• Align with TCFD, GRI, CDP, and ISSB for robust sustainability reporting.

 

1.  Regulatory & Disclosure Readiness

• Alignment with global carbon reporting frameworks
• Preparedness for emerging carbon regulations and export requirements
• Strengthens ESG and sustainability disclosures

2.  Market & Brand Positioning

• Enhances product transparency and credibility
• Supports carbon labeling and green product claims
• Improves competitiveness in low-carbon markets

3.  Operational & Strategic Value

• Identifies emission hotspots across the product life cycle
• Enables cost and energy optimization
• Supports low-carbon product development and innovation

4.  Stakeholder Confidence

• Strengthens investor and customer trust
• Improves ESG ratings and sustainability performance perception

Step 1: Define Scope & Boundary

• The product, functional unit (per kg/per piece, etc.), and system boundary (Cradle-to-Gate or Cradle-to-Grave) are clearly defined to establish the framework of the assessment.

Step 2: Map Life Cycle Stages

• All stages — raw material sourcing, manufacturing, energy use, transportation, packaging, use phase (if applicable), and disposal — are identified to ensure complete coverage of emission sources.

Step 3: Collect Data

• Relevant activity data such as electricity and fuel consumption, raw material quantities, logistics details, and waste generation records are collected from internal and supplier sources.

Step 4: Calculate Emissions

• Activity data is multiplied by recognized emission factors to calculate total emissions, expressed in CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) for consistency and comparability.

Step 5: Analyze & Identify Hotspots

• High-emission stages are identified through analysis, enabling targeted carbon reduction strategies and operational improvements.

Step 6: Reporting & Verification

• An ISO 14067-compliant Carbon Footprint Report is prepared, and third-party verification may be conducted to enhance credibility and support public disclosure or carbon labeling.

1.    Company registration certificate and basic organizational details
2.    Product specification sheet and functional unit definition
3.    Manufacturing process flow chart
4.    Annual production quantity data
5.    Raw material purchase and consumption records
6.    Electricity consumption bills (preferably last 12 months)
7.    Fuel consumption records (diesel, gas, furnace oil, etc.)
8.    Transportation details (distance, mode, freight data)
9.    Packaging material details and quantities
10.    Waste generation and disposal records
11.    Supplier data for upstream emissions (if Scope 3 included)
12.    Applicable emission factors or database references
