Why GHG Awareness Matters in Today Business Landscape

November 21, 2025

Across Indonesia and around the world, businesses are no longer asking whether to take climate action, but how. As global conversations shift from aspiration to accountability, companies are under increasing pressure to understand, measure, and disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a transparent and credible manner.

This surge in climate responsibility has put GHG awareness based on ISO 14064-1 in the spotlight. More organizations, from manufacturers to retailers, energy providers to tech startups, are recognizing that sustainability reports, carbon targets, and climate pledges mean little without a solid understanding of GHG accounting principles. And that understanding doesn't sit solely with environmental departments anymore.

In today’s business environment, where carbon data is being scrutinized by investors, partners, regulators, and even consumers, building internal awareness around GHG emissions is becoming a critical skillset across multiple functions. This is particularly true in Indonesia, where industries are aligning with global frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and preparing for stricter ESG and climate-related disclosure expectations.

Understanding ISO 14064-1, the international standard for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions, enables professionals to not only interpret carbon data but also contribute to strategies for reduction, compliance, and risk management.

Training programs focused on GHG awareness help teams navigate complex emissions categories, data collection methods, and reporting frameworks. They also support alignment with sustainability goals, improve data integrity, and foster confidence during third-party verification processes.

What participants typically gain from GHG awareness training based on ISO 14064-1

  • Clarity on scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
  • Guidance on emissions boundaries and operational control
  • Knowledge of data sources, estimation methods, and uncertainty analysis
  • Insight into reporting structures that meet ISO and stakeholder requirements
  • Understanding of the link between GHG inventories and climate strategies

For many organizations, the decision to build GHG literacy internally is no longer optional; it is part of future-proofing the business. With carbon-related expectations becoming standard in procurement, financing, and investment decisions, employees at every level need to understand the language of emissions.

Professionals who are familiar with GHG reporting principles are also better equipped to contribute to carbon reduction initiatives, support green innovation, and engage with stakeholders more meaningfully.

In this context, GHG awareness training based on ISO 14064-1 offers more than just technical insight. It empowers individuals to make sense of complex climate data and ensures that organizations can stand behind their sustainability claims with credibility. Because as expectations grow, so does the need for clarity, and it starts with awareness
