Solution: ISO 14067 — Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP)

ISO 14067 specifies principles, requirements, and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP) across its life cycle. It enables comparable, decision-grade CFP results and supports transparent communication to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.

What it covers

• Life-cycle based quantification: from raw material extraction and manufacturing to distribution, use, and end-of-life.
• Reporting & communication: formats and content for credible CFP disclosures (stand-alone or aligned with schemes such as ISO 14025).
• Verification readiness: structured datasets and documentation to enable independent third-party verification.

Who is it for?

Organizations that want to:

• Determine and reduce the carbon footprint of specific products or portfolios.
• Provide accurate, transparent CFP information to customers and authorities.
• Demonstrate progress against climate and ESG objectives (e.g., SDG 13).
• Meet regulatory or customer requirements for verified CFP data.

Benefits of ISO 14067 verification

• Trusted claims: independently verified, transparent CFP results strengthen credibility with customers and regulators.
• Reduction insights: life-cycle analysis highlights carbon hotspots for design, sourcing, and process improvements.
• Market advantage: robust climate information supports tenders, eco-labels, and procurement criteria.
• Compliance support: facilitates alignment with disclosure and product-labeling requirements.
