Bsi

BSI has received accreditation to ISO 14065 for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission verification services from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). BSI has already established itself as a leader in GHG emissions verification. For example, BSI developed PAS 2050 Specification for the assessment of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of go... ods and services, showing clear commitment to the subject. The publicly available specification was designed to ensure a consistent and comparable approach to supply chain measurement of embodied GHGs across markets. BSI also launched its Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) scheme in the UK in 2008. It was created for businesses seeking to declare their corporate carbon footprint, and reassure customers, employees, shareholders, potential investors, environmental groups, and the media of the integrity and completeness of their calculations. The service is delivered in accordance with the principles laid out for GHG verifiers in ISO 14065 and can be verified against ISO 14064-1 and the WBCSD/WRI GHG Protocol for Corporate Accounting and Reporting. Independent verification of GHG assertions provides assurance that GHG emissions monitoring, measuring and inventory are properly managed and accounted at organizational or facility level against governing regional or international standards. In addition to assured reliability in emission reporting, a verified GHG emission inventory demonstrates that an organization is effectively and diligently managing and monitoring their energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. These efforts, followed by its accreditation, confirms BSI's global expertise in verifying GHG emission and reduction assertions, placing the world's most prominent independent management assurance service provider among the few recognized GHG emission verification bodies in the Americas. BSI recently put this expertise into practice through its audit of the Joffre LAO plant of INEOS, based in Canada. According to Charles Obst, environmental specialist ...Read More
