Zenith Net-Zero Gains SCC Accreditation as ISO 14064 Validation and Verification Body

DORVAL, QC, Aug. 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Zenith Net-Zero has received accreditation from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), to deliver independent services under ISO 14064-3 Greenhouse gases — Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements.

This accreditation authorizes Zenith Net-Zero to validate and verify greenhouse gas emission statements as well as reduction and removal projects in accordance with ISO 14064-3. The designation confirms the company's competence to issue validation and verification statements recognized under international standards.

"Achieving SCC accreditation for ISO 14064-3 demonstrates our ability to deliver credible third-party validation and verification," said Nick Houseman, Founder of Zenith Net-Zero. "Our clients can now rely on us for recognized oversight of their GHG projects and reporting."

Independent validation and verification are essential for companies subject to regulatory reporting requirements, participating in voluntary carbon markets, or pursuing corporate climate goals. Using an SCC-accredited body provides assurance to regulators, investors, and stakeholdersthat greenhouse gas data and reduction claims are accurate, credible, and internationally recognized.

He has served as an auditor, consultant, and verifier for organizations including BNQ, CRIQ, and Investissement Québec, and has represented the Government of Canada on international environmental projects in Africa. His academic background includes a PhD in Environmental Sciences from UQAM, a postdoctoral fellowship in molecular biology at the Université de Montréal, and degrees in law and business administration (MBA). This expertise ensures that Zenith Net-Zero's validation and verification services are grounded in rigorous science, regulatory knowledge, and a global perspective.
