As part of the organization’s financial and non-financial disclosure, organizations increasingly need to demonstrate that their GHG statement and GHG reporting is comprehensive, complete, correct, and consistent. Conducting a verification and validation of an organization’s GHG statement and GHG report, among other things, are part of ensuring this. Some supply chains and regulators have even begun asking that these statements be verified and validated by accredited bodies.

You’ll gain an understanding of the principles and processes involved in conducting verification and validation of GHG statements and GHG reports, and learn how to design a framework to measure and report on your organization’s GHG emissions.

Course Aim

Develop an understanding of the key terms, definitions and requirements of ISO 14064-3:2019 and how the standard can help you verify and validate your organization’s GHG statement and GHG report in an impartial, evidence-based, fair, documented and conservative manner.
