What is ISO 14067
What Is ISO 14067

ISO 14067 is an international standard that defines how to measure the carbon footprint of products. It’s not a regulation, but a framework for consistent, transparent carbon calculations. This means manufacturers can use it to assess emissions across a product’s life cycle—from raw materials to disposal. By following ISO 14067, companies speak the same language when it comes to carbon data, which is increasingly expected by global partners, investors, and eco-conscious customers.

Why It Matters for Manufacturers

For manufacturers, ISO 14067 is more than a box to tick. It provides a scientific, credible method to track and reduce emissions. Using this standard can help identify emission hotspots in your supply chain, improve efficiency, and set measurable sustainability goals. Moreover, third-party certifications based on ISO 14067 add trust and value to your products—especially in competitive markets where climate impact is a buying factor.

Making It Work: Practical Steps

You don’t need to rebuild your entire system to start using ISO 14067. You can begin by gathering accurate data—like energy usage, material inputs, and transport distances. Then, you can choose a carbon accounting tool or consulting partner that follows ISO 14067 guidelines to help you calculate and document your product’s carbon footprint. Many companies now rely on digital platforms that automate data collection, apply standard-compliant methods, and keep everything updated in real-time. The key is to ensure consistency, traceability, and proper documentation throughout the process.
