    By obtaining ISO 14067 certification for its Partition Systems, JEB Group has demonstrated its ability to quantify and manage the product’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the ISO 14064-1 certification validates the company’s comprehensive approach to measuring and reducing its organizational greenhouse gas emissions.

    Asia Pacific Pioneer in Product Carbon Footprint Disclosure

    With climate consciousness soaring, companies are driven to be more transparent and accountable when it comes to their greenhouse gas emissions.  JEB Group leads the industry by becoming one of the first partitions provider in APAC to investigate and report on its partition products’ carbon footprint.

    With JEB’s home and reach across Asia Pacific, the Group recognises and acknowledges their own share of global emissions, which is why they want to be a catalyst to, not just address their own footprint, but also to inspire others. This significant accomplishment builds upon JEB Group’s existing commitment to environmental responsibility and reinforces their position at the forefront of sustainable office fit-out practices.

    ISO 14067 is an international standard that provides a framework for assessing the carbon footprint of products.  JEB Group continues to adopt a mentality of measuring first to ensure they understand their product, processes, and supply chain.  The result of the study will be used to identify important contributors within the upstream production stages of the product life cycle, to identify ways to improve the quality and positioning of their products.

    The ISO 14064-1 standard specifies principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing, and reporting organization-level greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. It provides a framework for JEB Group to accurately quantify and report GHG emissions, ensuring transparency and accountability in their environmental impact.
