In the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate sustainability, ZE Electronic Manufacturing Services Limited has set a new standard for environmental responsibility. The electronics assembly leader recently partnered with DQS to undergo a rigorous greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assurance process against ISO 14064-3:2019. This collaboration underscores DQS’ role as a trusted validator of climate action and a catalyst for transparent environmental reporting.
ISO 14064: The Standard for GHG Credibility
ISO 14064 isn’t just a standard—it’s a framework for organizational transformation, which covers below scopes in this case.
- Scope 1 (direct emissions):
From diesel-powered company vehicles and fire extinguisher fugitive gases. - Scope 2 (energy indirect emissions):
Stemming from purchased electricity. - Scope 3 (supply chain indirect emissions):
Encompassing business travel, waste disposal, and procured materials like paper packaging.
Following ISO 14064-1:2018, ZE Electronic prepared its GHG report to meet international benchmarks for accuracy, consistency, and transparency.
