Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) is fundamental to provide credibility and complete accuracy of the product’s carbon footprint. Therefore, reassuring an organisation’s internal and external stakeholders.
ES MANAGEMENT International independently verifies the accuracy of a products carbon footprint. Thus, organisations can identify the level of emissions resulting from each process during the entire life cycle of the product.
Stakeholders, including investors and staff, are also driving companies to have effective measures in place with respect to ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues, and verified PCF is an important step in reaching that goal.
Many customers are looking to use their purchasing choices as a way to help protect the planet from climate change. Forward-thinking businesses are therefore measuring the carbon footprint of their products to enable consumers to make that choice, and at the same time gain a better understanding of their GHG emissions so that they can reduce them.

We will use this information to accurately define your scope of assessment and provide you with a proposal for certification.
Once you’ve agreed your proposal, we will contact you to book your assessment with an ES Management Assessor. This assessment consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit.
Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been fully operational for a minimum of three months and has been subject to a management review and full cycle of internal audits.
Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made by an external auditor, then certification to the required standard is issued by ES Management.
You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and is maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits and a three yearly recertification audit.
Recent global agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, and increasing public focus on climate change impacts, lead to comprehensive governmental action plans and aggressive reduction targets.
GHG emissions inventory and reporting may be pursued by an organization for a number of reasons such as to contribute to their annual report, to communicate to their customer, to meet regulatory or investor reporting requirements, or publicly disclose their emission reduction achievements.
Verification against ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14064-2 highlights the veracity of your systems and processes to prove your GHG inventory, assertions and reports conform to the ISO 14064 standard; and are free from errors, omissions or misstatements.
Procurement specifications often require certification as a condition to supply, so certification and verification opens doors.
Independent verification against a globally recognized industry standard speaks volumes.
ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for an environmental management system.
The industry landscape is always changing. The introduction of the newest ISO 14001 revision in 2015 brings important changes that will have a lasting effect on the compliance requirements of businesses of all sizes and industries. These changes have impacts to your stakeholder needs and require the evolution of your management system. Considerations include Changing Regulatory Needs, Evolving Stakeholder Requirements and Legal Compliance.
It covers accounting and reporting of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s), perfluorocarbons (PFC’s) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6¬). The GHG Protocol was designed to provide a consistent, reproducible, transparent and simplified approach to GHG Emissions Accounting & Reporting. Both businesses and other stakeholders benefit from converging on a common standard.
Direct GHG Emissions
Criteria 1
Direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc. Additionally, fugitive emissions, such as unintentional release of GHG from sources including refrigerant systems and natural gas distribution.
Electricity and Indirect GHG Emissions
Criteria 2
Scope 2 accounts for GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the company. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity that is purchased or otherwise brought into the organizational boundary of the company. Scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where electricity is generated.
Value Chain – Other Indirect GHG Emissions
Criteria 3
Emissions that are a consequence of the operations of an organization but are not directly owned or controlled by the organization’. Scope 3 includes a number of different sources of GHG including employee commuting, business travel, third-party distribution and logistics, production of purchased goods, emissions from the use of sold products, waste disposal, and several more.
The ISO 14064-3 verification standard is one of the standards accepted by the Carbon Disclosure Project, the widely used climate impact disclosure system, as a valid framework for measuring and reporting GHG emissions.
ISO 14067 makes a valuable contribution to GHG quantification, allowing a transparent communication and comparison of CFPs made among identical quantification and communication requirements.
The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international non-profit organisation based in the United Kingdom, Japan, India, China, Germany and the United States of America that helps companies and cities disclose their environmental impact. It aims to make environmental reporting and risk management a business norm, driving disclosure, insight, and action towards a sustainable economy. In 2021, over 14,000 organizations disclosed their environmental information through CDP.
