Effective emissions management: ISO 14064 and ISO 14067
An important aspect of sustainability is the effective management and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Among the most commonly used tools used for this purpose, the GHG Protocol, IPCC reports and ISO standards. The following article takes a closer look at aspects of ISO 14064 and ISO 14067 which offer companies and organisations a consistent framework for identifying, measuring and reporting their carbon footprint at both organisational and product level.

The real estate market is one of the main consumers of energy, accounting for about 40% of global CO2 emissions . According to the latest statistics, 85% of buildings in the EU were constructed before 2000 and 75% of them have low energy efficiency. It is therefore a particularly significant sector that requires urgent action to reduce its negative impact on the environment.

Why might an energy audit be important for M&A transactions?
Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues are increasingly playing a major role in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. The possibility of conducting an energy audit is worth taking into account as part of these ESG considerations. In the current business environment, investors wish to avoid situations such as acquiring companies which have high carbon footprints or which require costly investments to reduce energy consumption. Whenever funds are invested in a business entity, it is useful to have a broad view of its holistic situation, and not merely its economic situation. Depending on the type of transaction carried out as part of an acquisition or merger, certain situations may arise throughout the process that can create commercial uncertainty or adversely impact negotiations.

In this context, biogas and its derivatives, are attracting increasing interest as potential elements of an energy strategy.
ISO 50001 – The key to energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is a key element of sustainability, combining environmental aspects with the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As environmental awareness increases, companies are increasingly focused on optimising energy consumption. ISO 14001 covers a wide range of environmental issues, while ISO 50001 focuses solely on energy efficiency. This article takes a closer look at the ISO 50001 standard and the benefits it can bring to companies seeking sustainability through better energy management.
