Integrating GHG programs within an ISO 14001 EMS

Abstract: The recent development of numerous voluntary programs for monitoring and reporting GHG emissions is entirely consistent with the ISO 14001 framework for environmental management systems. For most organizations, recognizing GHG emissions associated with their operations is the first step. Classifying these emissions, calculating volumes and conversion factors, and putting the information into a meaningful format are the keys to ensuring that reported volumes are accurate and complete.
