In today’s business landscape, carbon accounting has become a stepping-stone for corporations toward sustainability and climate action. Yet, businesses often find themselves navigating through a maze of overlapping standards and frameworks. The recent alliance between ISO and the GHG Protocol marks a turning point—one that promises to simplify, unify, and elevate global GHG emissions reporting.


The Key Players

In the complex landscape of GHG emissions accounting and reporting, 2 major organisations have long stood as leaders in their respective fields:

  • The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO): Founded in 1947, the ISO is a global standard-setting body that develops voluntary international standards. They have also developed and introduced GHG accounting standards, with the ISO 14064 series first being published in 2006.
  • The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol): Established in 1997, the GHG Protocol is the most widely used global standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Its frameworks, particularly for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, are foundational for corporate carbon emissions reporting.

A Historic Partnership for a Clearer Future

These two giants have announced a landmark strategic partnership aimed at unifying their standards for measuring and reporting GHG emissions. The goal is to solve a major pain point for businesses: the fragmentation and confusion caused by multiple, often conflicting, reporting frameworks.

By combining their expertise, ISO and the GHG Protocol are building a unified, cohesive rulebook that will simplify the entire process.


Main Goals of the Unification

The partnership’s main objectives are clear and strategic:

  • To create new, co-branded international standards by merging the best elements of the ISO 1406X series and the GHG Protocol’s existing frameworks for corporate, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
  • To jointly develop a new standard for product carbon footprints, a critical tool for companies and consumers in making informed low-carbon decisions.
  • To streamline the reporting process for companies, making it more efficient and less burdensome.

What This Partnership Means for the World

This collaboration is a significant step forward for global climate action. A unified standard will:

  • Enhance Clarity: Significantly reduce the complexity of emissions reporting, making it easier to comply and strategise.
  • Increase Credibility: Climate data will gain a new level of trust and consistency, strengthening brand reputation and stakeholder confidence.
  • Result in Better Decisions: Reliable data will enable smarter, more informed decisions about decarbonisation and sustainable growth.
  • Promote Market Leadership: Early adoption positions companies as leaders in transparency and responsible corporate governance.

The Road Ahead and What It Means for Your Business

This partnership is a powerful signal that the world is moving toward a more transparent and standardised approach to climate reporting. For businesses, this means the future of ESG reporting will be clearer, more credible, and more impactful. At Doowe, we believe this unification will empower companies to:

  • Gain a Competitive Edge: Demonstrate a strong commitment to transparent reporting that appeals to investors and stakeholders.
  • Streamline Operations: Focus on emissions reduction rather than complex reporting logistics.
