Are Carbon Footprint and GHG Protocol the same thing?
Feb 10, 2026
A new Green Pills episode is now online, focusing on a very common topic in the sustainability field:
What is the difference between an organizational Carbon Footprint and the GHG Protocol?
Providing clarity on this topic is Eng. Margherita Togni, who explains that while both are tools for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, they differ in purpose and characteristics.
- The GHG Protocol is an international guideline that classifies emissions into Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, and is widely used as a methodological reference.
- The ISO 14064 standard, on the other hand, is an international standard that can be certified by accredited third-party bodies and provides a more detailed classification of emissions into six categories.
In the video, we explore when to use one approach over the other and which factors to consider based on a company’s objectives.
