For Auditors

Comprehensive GHG Emissions Accounting

To achieve and maintain IWCA membership, a winery must regularly carry out Scopes 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories of its operations.

 

To ensure a consistent high standard, we require that inventories be verified to the ISO-14064-1 standard.


IWCA works closely with ISO-14064-3 accredited and CDP accredited auditors to: â€‹â€‹

  • ensure a robust standard and consistency in GHG measurement and accounting. 

  • verify that wineries meet IWCA membership requirements and achieve consistent emissions reductions over time.

IWCA Audit Summary Form

PURPOSE: To summarize an IWCA member or applicant member’s verified GHG inventory.

​

The Audit Summary Form is to be filled out by ISO-14064-3 or CDP accredited auditors. The Form should be submitted to IWCA yearly (or every other year, depending on a winery’s size) to confirm that the winery meets IWCA membership requirements and is achieving ongoing emissions reductions. 

GHG Emissions Inventory Guidance

IWCA's GHG Inventory Scopes Guidance Document outlines the categories of emissions that must be accounted for under a comprehensive Scopes 1, 2, and 3 inventory.
