What does GHG Protocol do?
The GHG Protocol provides a framework for companies, organisations, cities and countries to quantify their greenhouse gas emissions and calculate their carbon footprint. Standards and guidance documents are provided.
The GHG Protocol has developed the following standards for carbon accounting:
- Corporate Standard
- Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard
- GHG Protocol for Cities
- Mitigation Goal Standard
- Policy and Action Standard
- Product Standard
- Project Protocol
These standards, as well as the other guidance documents under the GHG Protocol, help companies, organisations, cities, and countries to:
- Calculate your GHG Emissions inventory
- Understand your carbon footprint
- Develop GHG mitigation strategies
If you are looking to calculate the carbon footprint of your business,
then the Corporate Standard is the place to start!
The Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard is a great way to make sure your carbon footprint is comprehensive, being sure to include the Scope 3 emissions. Our team of consultants is here to help you identify the sources of Scope 3 emissions in your value chain, and quantify those indirect emissions to give you a more full picture of your carbon footprint.
