ISO 14067 – Carbon Footprint of Products Lead Verifier Training

Build Expertise in Product Carbon Footprint Assessment, Verification, and Climate Accountability

About the Training

As organizations increasingly focus on climate change mitigation, sustainable manufacturing, and transparent environmental reporting, understanding the carbon footprint of products has become an important business priority.

The ISO 14067 – Carbon Footprint of Products Lead Verifier Training is designed to develop participants' knowledge and skills in reviewing and verifying product carbon footprint (CFP) studies, greenhouse gas (GHG) data, calculation methodologies, and supporting documentation.

Based on ISO 14067:2018 and relevant verification principles, this training explores how product-related emissions are quantified throughout the life cycle, how carbon footprint reports are evaluated, and how verification findings are documented objectively and transparently.

Participants will gain practical knowledge of verification planning, data quality assessment, system boundaries, emission factors, materiality, and reporting of verification findings.

Training Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles, requirements, and guidelines of ISO 14067.

• Explain the fundamentals of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and product carbon footprint analysis.

• Evaluate product life cycle stages, functional units, and system boundaries.

• Review GHG activity data, emission factors, calculation methods, and assumptions.

• Assess the completeness, consistency, and reliability of carbon footprint studies.

• Plan and conduct risk-based product carbon footprint verification activities.

• Identify data gaps, calculation errors, omissions, and potential non-conformities.

• Prepare verification findings, conclusions, and reports.

• Understand the relationship between ISO 14067, ISO 14064-3, ISO 14040, and ISO 14044.

• Support credible product carbon footprint disclosures and environmental claims.
