The calculation and reporting of climate-affecting emissions to extend the standards and methods, ISO, WRI and WBCSD and the European Commission expressed clearly. Munich, January 24, 2008 in an encouraging step for all companies that want to understand your emissions, three large international organizations have recently announced their jointly develop calculation and reporting standards. ISO (International Organization of for Standardization), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for sustainable development (WBCSD) expressed in a memorandum of understanding their existing standards for determining emissions from now on to promote together. This involves 14064 and GHG Protocol standards the ISO of WRI and WBCSD. The European Commission has clearly expressed through the European platform on life cycle assessment (EPLCA) 1 on the subject of carbon footprint. So is clearly highlighted in the recent official statement that calculations to the so-called carbon footprint only a portion which is more holistic studies on the life cycle analysis (LCA). The step to converging standards was long due and from our point of view a logical consequence in times of growing uncertainty for companies”, so Dr.-ing. Thomas Fleissner, Managing Director of NADIA.

Only a holistic approach to systems makes sense. Individual raisins out to can pick up the results, especially in comparison with other, greatly distort”, so Fleissner next. Since its founding, the NADIA applies open standards and current international standards. Also in the current debate about climate neutrality and to carbon footprinting, so the determination of CO2 emissions for individual products or entire companies, the NADIA is from the outset on the current standards. Several other international standards such as UNEP-standards, UNFCCC rules, guidelines of the BSI British standards (BSI) or as recommendations of the Ministry of the environment (BMU) are the focus of NADIA scientists in addition to the already mentioned institutions.
