ISO 14067

        With the global greenhouse effect severely impacting the world, climate change has become a major challenge facing the planet. To address this issue, international organizations formally established ISO 14067 in 2018, officially titled "Greenhouse gases — Carbon footprint of products — Requirements and guidelines for quantification and communication." This standard provides guidelines and standards for quantifying, reporting, and verifying the carbon footprint of products

ISO 14067 mainly includes the following:

1. Definitions and Principles: Determine the basic definitions and applicable principles for carbon footprint calculation.
2. Quantitative requirements: Instruct users on how to calculate the carbon footprint of a product, covering carbon emissions at all stages of the product lifecycle, from raw material acquisition, manufacturing, and transportation to use and disposal.
3. The report shouldspecify how carbon footprint results should be reported to ensure transparency and consistency.
4. Verification and validation: Provide methods for verifying the carbon footprint of products to ensure their accuracy and reliability.
5. Communication Requirements: Guidelines on how to communicate product carbon footprint information, including labeling and other methods, to ensure that consumers and other stakeholders can correctly understand and trust the results.

        The ISO 14067 standard applies to a wide range of products and services, including various product categories, engineering projects, buildings, and service industries. This standard has a broad scope, covering products and services across various sectors

1. Increase trust: Third-party verification ensures the accuracy and objectivity of carbon footprint calculations, which can increase the trust of consumers, investors and other stakeholders.
2. Ensuring consistency: The verification process ensures consistency in carbon footprint calculations across different products and companies, making it possible to compare the carbon footprints of different products.
3. Identifying emissions reduction opportunities: The verification process may reveal certain carbon emission sources that were overlooked or underestimated in the original calculations, thereby helping companies identify emissions reduction opportunities.
4. Enhancing corporate image: Products whose carbon footprint has been verified by ISO 14067 are often considered to have higher credibility and transparency, which can enhance a company's environmental image and market position.
5. Compliance with regulations and market requirements: As global carbon emission regulations become increasingly stringent, verifying a product's carbon footprint can help companies comply with relevant regulations and meet the requirements of certain markets or customers, including the EU's CBAM and the US CCA Act.
6. Improving supply chain transparency: Verification extends beyond the final product to every stage of the supply chain. This increases supply chain transparency and helps businesses identify and manage carbon risks within their supply chains.
7. Encouraging continuous improvement: Verification often requires repetitive checks, which encourages businesses to regularly update and improve their carbon footprint calculations and continuously seek opportunities for emissions reduction.

        In summary, carbon footprint verification can provide data support, reduce risks, enhance competitiveness, and demonstrate corporate responsibility, while also helping companies find opportunities for improvement to cope with carbon tariffs on exported products
