APCER Brazil, responsible for assessing sustainability and verifying carbon neutrality at COP30, is conducting detailed technical work that complements previously published coverage of the event.

• ISO 20121: assessment of key areas such as waste management, energy consumption, use of sustainable transport, and involvement of local suppliers with responsible practices.

• ISO 14068-1: quantification of greenhouse gas emissions in scopes 1 and 2, and selection of recognized offset mechanisms to achieve carbon neutrality.

APCER is accredited under ISO 17021 for management system audits and ISO 14065 for emissions verification services, ensuring technical rigor and impartiality.

APCER Brazil is part of the international APCER group, headquartered in Portugal, with offices in Brazil, Spain, and China, and operations in more than 20 countries.
