Carbon Footprint
Verification & Validation
Measure what matters. Reduce what counts.
Sustainability starts with understanding impact. A carbon footprint quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and helps organizations make informed decisions to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and communicate environmental performance with confidence. Whether you are assessing emissions at the organizational level or for a specific product, carbon footprinting turns climate responsibility into measurable action.
At WECERT, we support both Corporate Carbon Footprint and Product Carbon Footprint programs—helping organizations move from calculations to credible, trusted reporting through independent verification.
(ISO 14064-1)
A Corporate Carbon Footprint represents the total greenhouse gas emissions generated directly and indirectly by an organization’s activities. Measuring emissions at the organizational level provides clear insight into where emissions occur and supports the development of effective reduction strategies. Corporate carbon footprinting strengthens ESG reporting, improves transparency, and enables organizations to demonstrate accountability to customers, investors, and regulators.
Organizations seeking to understand their overall climate impact and manage sustainability performance typically begin with a corporate carbon footprint, which can be independently verified to enhance credibility and trust.
(ISO 14067)
A Product Carbon Footprint measures the GHG emissions associated with a specific product or service across defined life cycle stages, such as raw materials, manufacturing, transport, use, and end-of-life. It helps organizations identify hotspots within the value chain, improve product design and sourcing, and respond to customer and market demands for carbon transparency.
Product carbon footprinting supports sustainability claims and enables credible communication—especially when verified against recognized standards.
