Companies that want to transparently and credibly report the CO2 footprint of their products and services can now have it verified by Quality Austria Certification according to the international standard ISO 14067. This new service is aimed at businesses that want to not only communicate their sustainability efforts but also make them measurable – from food manufacturers to industrial companies.

Transparent communication and green claim security

ISO 14067 is the internationally recognized standard for calculating and verifying the carbon footprints of products and services. It helps companies provide reliable environmental information and avoid the risks of greenwashing. „More and more consumers, as well as companies, are demanding credible evidence of sustainability claims from their suppliers. A verified carbon footprint according to ISO 14067 strengthens trust, provides certainty regarding environmental claims, and enables companies to make informed decisions about emissions reduction,“ explains Axel Dick, Head of Business Development Environment and Energy, ESG at Quality Austria Certification.

Holistic approach to environmental and energy management

As Austria's leading certification and validation body, Quality Austria Certification provides comprehensive support to organizations in environmental and energy management – from ISO 14001 and energy audits to CO2 verification of companies according to ISO 14064. The company has now also received accreditation from Accreditation Austria, located within the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWET), as an accredited testing body for ISO 14067. "By expanding our portfolio to include ISO 14067, we offer an additional important building block for the credible transformation to sustainable business models," emphasize Werner Paar and Christoph Mondl, Co-Managing Directors of Quality Austria Certification.
