GHG Inventory: ISO 14064-1:2018 and GHG Protocol
Two days to learn how to build your company’s greenhouse gas inventory under ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol: boundaries, scopes 1, 2 and 3, documented emission factors, data quality. The workshop calculates your site’s inventory from your invoices and meter readings, then turns it into a reduction plan and a report ready for verification.

- Explain the requirements of ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol presentation in scopes 1, 2 and 3
- Define organisational and operational boundaries, the base year and the recalculation policy
- Build an activity data collection plan and a register of sourced emission factors
- Calculate a site’s emissions, including scope 2 under the location-based and market-based methods
- Build a reduction plan and prepare the inventory report for verification
Programme
Day 1 — morning
- Who asks for a carbon footprint and in what form: European customers, banks and funders, ESG questionnaires
- ISO 14064-1:2018, GHG Protocol, product footprint: three answers to different questions
- Organisational boundary and consolidation approaches; operational boundary, direct and indirect emissions
- Base year and recalculation policy
Day 1 — afternoon
- Scope 1: fuels, fleets, refrigerants, process emissions
- Scope 2: purchased electricity, location-based and market-based methods, on-site solar generation
- Scope 3: the 15 categories, screening criteria and written justification of exclusions
- Emission factors: recognised sources, year, unit, global warming potential, traceability
Day 2 — morning
- Workshop: your site’s collection plan, data item by data item (source, owner, frequency, control)
- Workshop: calculation of the site’s scopes 1 and 2 on your actual invoices and readings
- First screening of scope 3 categories on your purchases and transport
- Data quality, uncertainty and review by someone who did not do the calculation
Day 2 — afternoon (workshop)
- From inventory to reduction plan: ranking of emission sources, levers, targets and pathway
- Inventory report: boundaries, methods, exclusions, results and evidence file
- Verification by a body accredited to ISO 14064-3:2019: how to prepare for it
- Joint GHG Protocol–ISO standard in preparation: what remains applicable today; knowledge test
Teaching methods
- Calculation on your actual data: electricity and fuel invoices, refrigerant register, purchases
- Traceable calculation file template and emission factor register handed to participants
- Exercises in QHSE and finance pairs to cross-check technical and accounting data
- Case of an industrial exporter receiving three different footprint requests in the same week
- Final test on boundary and calculation rules
Assessment and documents
Knowledge test at the end of the session and feedback survey at D+1. Each participant receives a numbered training certificate, verifiable online; the company receives the training report and the first calculation of its scopes 1 and 2 carried out in the workshop.
Bilingual materials for every participant; each classroom course comes with its digital twin on OmniLearn.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a GHG inventory, a carbon footprint and an ISO 14064-1 inventory?
In everyday use, none: they are three names for an organisation’s annual emissions inventory. ISO 14064-1:2018 sets its requirements, the GHG Protocol presents it in scopes. A product’s footprint is a different calculation, covered in a separate course.
Do we have to choose between ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol?
No. A single inventory can meet both if the method is written down. The GHG Protocol and ISO are preparing a joint standard; until it is published, ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard remain the references.
Is scope 3 calculated during the course?
It is screened and framed: you review the 15 categories, keep those that matter and justify the exclusions. A full scope 3 calculation needs supplier data that cannot be gathered in two days; the course gives you the collection plan to do it.
Does the course supply emission factors?
It teaches how to choose and document them: official or recognised source, year, area, unit, licence of use. The exercises use factors whose source is cited; a factor without a reference would make your inventory unverifiable.
Who should attend?
The person who will lead the inventory (QHSE, CSR or energy), a representative of finance or management control who holds the invoices, and if possible an industrial manager. This trio covers most of the data to collect.
