The International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol have announced a strategic partnership.
Under the agreement, the two bodies will combine their GHG emissions accounting and reporting standards into a co-branded suite of standards. They will also work on a joint carbon footprint standard.
ISO Secretary-General Sergio Mujica stated: “Both ISO and GHG Protocol have a shared vision to efficiently advance climate action and simplify the task for all stakeholders. This is a new era for the carbon accounting landscape and both organisations are thrilled to be working together.”
In a joint statement, the ISO and GHG Protocol said experts from the two bodies “will now collaborate through an integrated technical process”.
