As announced in November of 2023, GHG Protocol is refining its governance model to meet the needs of a rapidly changing GHG accounting and reporting landscape. As voluntary and regulatory programs continue to integrate GHG Protocol’s standards and guidance, we’ve recognized the need to update our governance model to maintain transparency and accountability to our stakeholders.
To that end, we are evolving our governance structure in tandem with our work to update GHG Protocol’s flagship suite of corporate standards. Read our latest blog to learn more: https://bit.ly/3Vx7Cxy
As we navigate the path towards sustainability, GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Accounting stands as a crucial tool in quantifying and managing our environmental impact.
GHG Accounting is a systematic process used by organizations to quantify and report their greenhouse gas emissions which involves measuring emissions from various sources such as energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and industrial processes.
The primary goal is to provide accurate data on emissions, which enables organizations to analyze their environmental impact, set reduction targets, and make informed decisions towards sustainability.
Understanding these terminology forms the foundation of effective environmental management and sustainability strategy.
By mastering these terms, we empower ourselves and our organizations to drive meaningful change towards a greener future

Amid a significant decision announced by SBTi on Tuesday, stakeholders may be interested to read GHG Protocol's newly released summary of stakeholder feedback on the use of market-based accounting approaches in scope 3 (and scope 1). It provides a brief history on the concept of market-based accounting, its existing application within scope 2, a compilation of feedback about a variety of market instruments in existence today (including carbon offsets) and a summary of the range of opinions on the appropriateness of using market instruments in scopes 1 and 3.
This report is the output of a survey conducted by GHG Protocol last year representing opinions from 343 organizations across industry, academia, NGOs, governments, leadership and target-setting initiatives, and civil society.

For those who are selected, we will follow up with the next steps in the process, including details about the first TWG meetings to happen shortly thereafter. All applicants who are not selected for Technical Working Group membership will be invited to provide feedback on the draft standards via our public consultation process in 2025.

Brazil incorporating ISSB-aligned disclosures for listed companies is a big step in their transition strategy. The transition period from 2024 is intended to give companies time to prepare for both the reporting and assurance requirements. The biggest element of the announcement is the "mandatory" component, which will take effect at the beginning of 2027. #energytransition#sustainabilityhttps://lnkd.in/gTeC2PFn
