What it is

GHG Inventory Development, without the jargon

A GHG inventory is the structured, documented account of an organisation’s emissions built to the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1. Beyond a one-off number, it establishes boundaries, data-collection procedures, emission-factor sources and a base-year recalculation policy — so the inventory is consistent, comparable and ready for third-party assurance every reporting cycle.

Why it matters

Why companies act on this

  • Disclosure and assurance require a documented, repeatable methodology, not a spreadsheet
  • A base-year recalculation policy keeps year-on-year comparisons valid
  • ISO 14064-1 structure makes the inventory verification-ready from the start
