*Last updated: 2026-06-25*

ISO 14064 is a three-part standard series for quantifying, reporting, and independently verifying greenhouse gas emissions at the organisational and project level. In freight logistics, the process follows a defined sequence: establish system boundaries, identify emission sources across fleets, warehouses, and offices, collect activity data, calculate using a consistent methodology, and have the results independently verified. This structured approach enables year-on-year comparability and benchmarking across carriers. Shippers increasingly require ISO 14064-aligned carbon accounts from their logistics partners to substantiate their own Scope 3 disclosures. Unlike ISO 14001, ISO 14064 focuses exclusively on greenhouse gas measurement and verification, not on a broader environmental management system.
