Greenhouse gas Accounting and Verification
Many governments are taking steps to reduce GHG emissions through national policies that include the introduction of emissions trading programs, voluntary programs, carbon or energy taxes, and regulations and standards on energy efficiency and emissions. As a result, companies must be able to understand and manage their GHG risks if they are to ensure long-term success in a competitive business environment, and to be prepared for future national or regional climate policies.
We assist companies to prepare a GHG inventory that represents a true and fair account of their emissions, through the use of standardized approaches and principles that can be verified. We provide business with information that can be used to build an effective strategy to manage and reduce GHG emissions. By compiling this emission information, it facilitates participation in voluntary and mandatory GHG programs.
A well-designed and maintained corporate GHG inventory can serve several business goals, including:
- Managing GHG risks and identifying reduction opportunities
- Public reporting and participation in voluntary GHG programs
- Participating in mandatory reporting programs
- Participating in GHG markets
- Recognition for early voluntary action.
