Detailed description
ISO 14068-1 is part of a broader family of Standards aimed at guiding organizations in managing their environmental impacts, with particular emphasis on assessing the carbon footprint and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This Standard focuses on the life cycle of products, services, and organizations, placing special emphasis on emission reduction, thereby contributing to the overall diminution of environmental impact.
The primary objective of ISO 14068-1 is to equip organizations with the necessary tools to identify, assess, and mitigate carbon emissions throughout their entire life cycle.

- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): It incorporates the principles of life cycle, ensuring that organizations consider every stage of the life cycle of their products and services when calculating the carbon footprint.
- Emission Reduction: ISO 14068-1 emphasizes the implementation of strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions both in the short term and long term.
- Consistency and Accuracy: It offers clear guidelines to ensure the consistency and accuracy of emission data, supporting informed decision-making.
