As the urgency of climate action intensifies—and as new regulations go into effect—organizations will face growing pressure to transparently measure and manage their environmental impact. Greenhouse gas (GHG) verification will play an increasingly critical role in this process.
If you’ve never been through the GHG verification process, you may have questions about why it’s important and what it might look like for your organization.
Inside this whitepaper, you’ll find answers to the following questions:
- Why does GHG verification matter?
- What are the four key characteristics you should look for when selecting a verifier?
- What goes on behind the scenes during a GHG verification?
Special thanks to our collaborators at JS Held — a consultancy with decades of experience in GHG accounting and verification — for helping us unpack and demystify the GHG verification process.
