Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) is a critical process that validates an organization's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through a third-party assessment. It offers a reliable and standardized method to measure emissions across operations, products, and services—helping businesses align with climate action goals, ESG frameworks, and global sustainability standards.
By quantifying emissions under recognized protocols like ISO 14064, ISO 14067, and the GHG Protocol, organizations gain accurate insights into their environmental impact and can develop credible, science-based net-zero strategies.
