1. Introduction — Sustainability Requirements Are Reshaping Supply Chains

Global decarbonization policies are accelerating transformation across the manufacturing sector. Increasingly, engineers, EPC contractors, international brands, and government procurement systems consider carbon emissions data a key selection criterion when evaluating suppliers.

As a critical component in pipeline and process systems, valves play an essential role due to their long service life, large usage volume, and direct connection to energy efficiency and system performance. Because of this impact, the carbon footprint generated during valve manufacturing and throughout its product lifecycle is becoming a major focus.

In this context, valves and manufacturers certified under ISO 14067 and ISO 14064 demonstrate transparent, traceable, and verified carbon management capabilities — making these certifications a new industry standard.

2. What Are ISO 14067 and ISO 14064 — and Why Are They Important?

1) ISO 14067 — International Standard for Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

This standard measures the total carbon emissions of a product throughout its lifecycle, including:

• Raw material extraction
• Processing and manufacturing
• Transportation
• Use phase
• End-of-life disposal

It provides transparent and comparable carbon footprint data, supporting carbon reporting in engineering and procurement.

For valve users, it helps answer essential questions:

→ How much carbon does this product generate throughout its lifecycle? → Is this valve more environmentally responsible than alternatives?

2) ISO 14064 — Corporate Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Management

ISO 14064 focuses on organizational-level emissions verification and greenhouse gas management.

It confirms that a company has:

• A structured carbon accounting system
• Verifiable emissions monitoring
• A long-term carbon reduction framework

For procurement and engineering applications, this means:

→ The manufacturer is actively and continuously managing emissions, not merely making one-time claims.

3. Four Ways ISO 14067 / ISO 14064 Influence Valve Selection

1) Proof of Transparency and Credibility in Manufacturing

For international tenders and major engineering projects, traceable and verifiable data is increasingly required.

Certified companies benefit from:

• Stronger competitiveness during bidding
• Reduced verification risk across the supply chain
• Alignment with ESG and sustainability compliance requirements

2) Lower Future Carbon-Related Costs (Carbon Fees, CBAM, or Carbon Tax)

As carbon pricing and cross-border carbon mechanisms move into regulation, carbon footprint data will directly affect:

• Import/export fees
• Project carbon compliance KPIs
• ESG audit scoring

Choosing valves with verified low-carbon footprints under ISO 14067 provides flexibility and reduces long-term regulatory burden.

3) Supports ESG and Sustainability Reporting Requirements

More companies are now required to publish ESG or sustainability reports, including:

• Scope 3 emissions
• Lifecycle-based environmental declarations

Selecting ISO-verified low-carbon valves helps improve:

• Report quality and credibility
• ESG ratings and compliance results
• Investor and customer confidence

4) Demonstrates Forward-Thinking Engineering and Manufacturing Capability

Obtaining ISO 14064 and ISO 14067 is not just administrative paperwork — it reflects:

• Process optimization
• Improved energy efficiency
• Reduced material waste
• Long-term decarbonization strategy implementation

Selecting a supplier with these capabilities means selecting a partner prepared for the future of manufacturing.

4. TAWD Becomes Taiwan’s First Valve Manufacturer to Receive ISO 14067 Certification for Ball Valves

TAWD has obtained ISO 14064 organizational greenhouse gas verification and has now achieved a new milestone by becoming the first ball valve manufacturer in Taiwan to receive ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint certification.

This recognition reflects TAWD’s commitment to:

• Sustainable engineering practices
• Transparent carbon accounting
• Continuous environmental responsibility

It also provides measurable benefits for engineering and procurement teams:

• Clear, data-driven product selection criteria
• Verified and lower-risk sustainable supply chain sourcing
• Compliance with global ESG expectations and governmental purchasing requirements
