Quality Techno Certifications (QTC) is proud to announce a significant expansion of its ISO 17020 accreditation, granted by the Gulf Accreditation Center (GAC) on October 3, 2022. With this expansion, QTC has introduced a suite of carbon management services designed to support businesses in managing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. This new offering underscores QTC’s dedication to environmental responsibility, providing clients with robust solutions in greenhouse gas verification, reporting, and management.
The newly launched carbon services encompass several international standards and guidelines, each tailored to help organizations manage their environmental impact and meet global sustainability targets:
ISO 14064 Series
QTC now offers verification services under ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, and ISO 14064-3, which provide a framework for quantifying, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals. These standards are critical for businesses seeking transparent and reliable greenhouse gas accounting.
ISO 14067
This standard focuses on the carbon footprint of products, helping companies assess and reduce the greenhouse gases associated with their products throughout the lifecycle. By implementing ISO 14067, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
Under the guidelines of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), QTC supports clients in assessing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of their emissions, a vital metric for understanding long-term environmental impact and making informed decisions on emission reduction.
LULUCF Regulation
QTC’s carbon services also cover the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) regulation, which addresses emissions and removals related to land management. This regulation is essential for organizations engaged in activities that impact land use, helping them monitor and manage carbon stocks effectively.
PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality Standard
QTC assists clients in achieving carbon neutrality through PAS 2060 certification, the international standard for demonstrating carbon neutrality. This service supports businesses in offsetting emissions, aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change, and enhancing their reputation as environmentally responsible entities.
With this expanded ISO 17020 accreditation, QTC is well-equipped to guide clients through the complexities of greenhouse gas management and carbon neutrality. From detailed assessments and reporting to certification for carbon neutrality, QTC’s carbon services provide businesses with the tools they need to set and achieve ambitious environmental goals. Through comprehensive greenhouse gas verification, reporting, and management, QTC helps clients reduce emissions, enhance transparency, and meet both regulatory and corporate sustainability objectives.
QTC’s expansion into carbon management reflects its broader commitment to sustainable excellence, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals for a greener future. By providing carbon verification and neutrality services, QTC empowers organizations to take meaningful steps toward sustainability, contributing positively to the global fight against climate change.
