## Definition

**Carbon Footprint Standards** means internationally recognised standards to measure, manage and demonstrate low carbon credentials covering:

(a) the Company and its supply \[and value\] chains, in particular \[the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations OR Sustainability Reporting Guidance (SRG)\]\* \[GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard\] \[ISO 14064\]);

(b) projects, products and services, in particular\] \[ISO 14001\] \[ISO 14064\] \[GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard\] \[ISO 14067\] \[ISO 14068\] \[ISO14065\] \[ISO14040/14044\]; and

(c) events, particularly \[ISO 20121\],

as updated or replaced from time to time.

\*_\[Drafting note: the SECR framework is a mandatory requirement for large UK companies and LLPs. For other companies the SRG is more appropriate.\]_
