Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Enveritas verifies CO₂ emissions across your supply chain, giving your company credible data to report on and reduce emissions and deliver on climate commitments.

ISO 14065
Standards compliant
Verified emissions, on top of a certified product.
Enveritas issues verified greenhouse gas (GHG) footprints for coffee and cocoa purchases, drawing on the farm-level data collected through our Responsibly Sourced verification process. The service closes one of the most persistent gaps in Scope 3 reporting for soft commodities—credible activity data at origin—and is issued as an additional claim alongside our core Responsibly Sourced per Enveritas Standards claim.
Built for companies with Scope 3 reporting obligations
Who It's For
Enveritas GHG verification is designed for coffee and cocoa buyers—roasters, manufacturers, and retailers—that need credible, independently verified emissions data for their supply chains.
Good fit for
- Companies with Scope 3 Category 11 reporting requirements
- Buyers sourcing from fragmented smallholder supply chains
- Brands needing defensible claims under the EU Green Claims Directive
- Procurement teams running Continuous Improvement programs
What It Is
Drawing on farm-level data collected through our Responsibly Sourced verification process, Enveritas issues verified greenhouse gas footprints for coffee and cocoa purchases as an additional claim alongside the core Responsibly Sourced per Enveritas Standards claim.
- Sourcing-area emissions
Credible activity data collected at origin, not estimated from global averages
- ISO 14065 compliance
Methodology aligned with ISO 14065 and the IPCC 2019 Refinement Guidelines
- Linked to purchase records
Each lot mapped to a sourcing area—from full farmer lists to country-level attribution
- Supports reduction
Surfaces where emissions are concentrated, so Continuous Improvement efforts target the right farms
How It Works
Three components turn farm visits into a reportable footprint and a starting point for reduction. This excludes nursery emissions and shade-tree sequestration, where activity-level uncertainty would compromise accuracy.

01 Traceability

Purchase records map each lot to a sourcing area
From full farmer-list traceability to country-level attribution.

02 Activity data
02 Activity data
Farm-level activity data
Land use, farming practices, processing methods, and transport are captured during the same farm visit that supports the Responsibly Sourced claim.
-
03 Emission factors
03 Emission factors
Internationally established emission factors
Activity data is combined with factors from the GHG Protocol, the IPCC 2019 Refinement Guidelines, and FAO ecological zone data to produce sourcing-area emissions in kilograms of CO₂e.

04 Decision
From verification to decision
A verified footprint is the starting point, not the deliverable. By surfacing where emissions concentrate across sourcing areas, it directs Continuous Improvement activities that turn disclosure into reduction.
