ISO 14064 Third-Party GHG Verification in Saudi Arabia
VerdeVista Consulting provides independent, accredited-standard ISO 14064-3 verification services for Saudi companies required to demonstrate the accuracy and credibility of their greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. As a certified Lead Verifier, Eng. Abdualhafieth Shareef delivers verification statements that satisfy SEC reporting obligations, giga-project sustainability requirements, and international investor disclosure standards.
What Is ISO 14064 Verification?
ISO 14064 is the international standard for GHG quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification. Part 3 of the standard (ISO 14064-3) specifies the requirements for validating and verifying GHG assertions. Third-party verification under ISO 14064-3 confirms that a company’s GHG inventory is complete, consistent, accurate, transparent, and relevant, providing an independent verification statement that stakeholders and regulators can rely on.
Why Saudi Companies Need ISO 14064 Verification Now
The Saudi Exchange (SEC) has mandated ESG disclosure for listed companies, with GHG reporting forming a core pillar of compliance. Saudi Arabia’s National Framework for Zero Carbon (NFZC 2060) and its Vision 2030 delivery mechanisms require large industrial entities, giga-project contractors, and Aramco-tier suppliers to report and verify their carbon footprints. Major buyers and project owners, including NEOM, Red Sea Global, Qiddiya, and Diriyah Gate, increasingly require third-party verified GHG data from their supply chains.
VerdeVista’s ISO 14064 Verification Service
Our verification service follows a structured four-stage process aligned with ISO 14064-3 and ISAE 3410 best practices:
Scoping and planning
Define verification scope, materiality threshold, and level of assurance (limited or reasonable).
Document review
Assess the GHG inventory methodology, data sources, emission factors, and calculation procedures.
Site verification
Conduct on-site visits and interviews with responsible personnel to confirm data integrity and process adherence.
Verification statement
Issue a formal, signed verification statement confirming the inventory meets ISO 14064-3 requirements.
Who Should Commission Verification?
ISO 14064 third-party verification is essential for Saudi companies in the following situations: SEC-listed entities preparing ESG reports, industrial facilities applying for carbon credits or green financing, contractors bidding on NEOM, Red Sea Global, or other giga-project packages with sustainability performance requirements, exporters facing EU CBAM obligations requiring verified embedded carbon data, and organisations pursuing net-zero commitments under the Saudi Green Initiative.
