Carbon Footprinting - Start with the highest standards
Without the firewall of carbon footprinting data standards, data is just “stuff off of the internet"
ISO 16759:2013 certification is based on a life cycle assessment approach. Normatively referenced in the certification methodology, this is ISO 14044 Environmental management- Life cycle assessment - requirements and ISO/TS 14067 Carbon Footprint of products.
This all sits within a hierarchy of guidance and compliance that is followed, as below:
- GHG protocol - Corporate Standard
- GHG protocol - Scope 1 & 2 GHG Inventory Guidance
- GHG protocol - Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting
- GHG protocol - Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions
- Gold Standard - VALUE CHAIN (SCOPE 3) INTERVENTIONS
- Department for Energy Security & Net Zero- Guidance on how to measure and report your greenhouse gas emissions
- ISO - 16759:2013 (carbon footprint of print media products - short title)
- Cepi - Carbon Footprints For paper and board products
- Paper Profile - Environmental product declaration for paper
- Intergraf - recommendations on CO2 emissions calculation in the printing industry
The Our Zero platform can deliver carbon data for use with:
Internal reporting and external UK SECR reporting. Supports UK PPN 06/2021 Also supports Compliant data for the Generation of “Carbon” procurement contract clauses and internal carbon prices for print procurement
.All Natural Credit carbon balancing calculations and purchases are automatically third party varified and audited externally
Without the transparency of Third Party Verification and Auditing of your printed product’s carbon footprints, then how can you trust the data that you are delivering to your clients?
