1. GB/T 46566-2025 < Greenhouse Gas Management Systems—Requirements > (2025-10-31)

The recommended national standard GB/T 46566-2025 Greenhouse Gas Management Systems - Requirements (hereinafter referred to as the Standard) has been jointly gazetted by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Standardization Administration on 31^st October 2025. It provides a unified and standardized framework for greenhouse gas management across various types of organizations.

1) The Standard applies to organizations of any size and type, assisting them in planning and controlling activities related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, removals, and other relevant processes that they can control or influence. By integrating GHG management into their overall management systems, organizations can achieve expected outcomes such as improving GHG performance, fulfilling compliance obligations, and reaching their GHG-related objectives.

2) The Standard adopts the "PDCA Cycle" (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management logic while strictly adhering to the ISO High-Level Structure (HLS). The HLS serves as a unified framework for the development of ISO international standards, aiming to enhance consistency, compatibility, and ease of use across different fields of ISO standards. Its core requirements include a fixed chapter structure (Scope, Normative References, Terms and Definitions, Context of the Organization, Leadership, Planning, Support, Operation, Performance Evaluation, and Improvement) as well as general management principles (such as the process approach and risk-based thinking).

3) Seven core modules of the Standard

Organizational Context. Identify internal and external issues as well as the needs of relevant interested parties. Clearly define the boundaries and scope of the greenhouse gas (GHG) management system and document this information.

Leadership. Top management shall make clear commitments, establish an appropriate GHG policy, and reasonably allocate job responsibilities and authorities.

Planning. Establish carbon emission accounting baselines, set quantifiable emission reduction targets, identify key emission sources, and develop control measures. Clearly define the review and control mechanisms for carbon assets, carbon neutrality, and carbon trading.

Support. Allocate resources, build personnel capabilities, foster awareness, facilitate internal and external information exchange, and documented information control. 

Operation. From a life-cycle perspective, the organization shall manage and control carbon management operations in three aspects: design, procurement, and operational control.

Performance Evaluation. Establish mechanisms for monitoring and measuring key characteristics, conducting compliance evaluations, performing internal audits, and carrying out management reviews to ensure that the operation effects of the system are quantifiable and verifiable.

Improvement. Based on the results of performance evaluations, develop corrective actions for non-conformities to drive continuous improvement in the GHG management system and its performance.

 

2. < Work Guidelines on Product Carbon Footprint Factor Database Construction > (2025-12-05)

The Work Guidelines on Product Carbon Footprint Factor Database Construction (hereinafter referred the Work Guidelines) has been jointly gazetted by the General office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and 6 other departments, on 5^th December 2025. The main contents are as below:

1. < Regulations on Population and Family Planning in Sichuan Province > (2025-11-28)

The newly revised Regulations on Population and Family Planning in Sichuan Province (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) came into effect on 28^th November 2025. This revision is closely centered around the construction of a childbirth support policy system, making significant adjustments to key systems such as marriage leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, and childcare leave. It fully reflects Sichuan Province's policy orientation of actively responding to the national childbirth policy and promoting long-term and balanced population development.

The provisions regarding relevant leaves are as follows:

• Marriage Leave: Couples who register their marriage in accordance with the law are entitled to a 20-day marriage leave. Those who participate in pre-marital medical examinations before marriage registration will receive an additional 5 days of marriage leave.
• Maternity Leave and Paternity Leave: For couples who have children in compliance with these regulations, in addition to national provisions, the woman's maternity leave is extended by 90 days. For a woman giving birth to a third child, upon her own application and with the consent of her employer, her maternity leave can be further extended by 30 days. The man is entitled to a 30-day paternity leave.
• Childcare Leave: Couples with children under the age of three are entitled to a cumulative total of 10 working days of childcare leave per year, calculated based on each full year of the child's age.

In addition, the Regulations clearly stipulate that during marriage leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, and childcare leave, employees shall be counted as attendance, and their salaries and welfare benefits remain unaffected. Local people's governments at or above the county level and employers shall effectively ensure the implementation of these leave benefits. This not only safeguards the rights and interests of workers but also sets clear requirements for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities. Enterprises need to actively respond to the policy, adjust their human resource management strategies, and ensure that employees can fully enjoy these leave benefits.
