The GHG Protocol: A Comprehensive Guide to Greenhouse Gas Accounting

CHG Protocol

Sustainability is a foundation of business and societal responsibility, accurately measuring and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is supreme. This is where the GHG Protocol comes in. It’s the global standard for reporting and managing GHG emissions, offering a clear and consistent framework for organizations worldwide.

What is the GHG Protocol?

The GHG Protocol is a complete toolkit that helps businesses, governments, and other entities understand, measure, and reduce their carbon footprint. It provides a consistent approach to calculating GHG emissions, ensuring consistency and comparability across different organizations.

Why is it Important?

  • Credibility: Sticking to the GHG Protocol enhances your organization’s credibility as a responsible corporate citizen.
  • Decision Making: Accurate emissions data empowers you to make informed decisions about sustainability initiatives.
  • Risk Management: Identifying your carbon footprint helps you assess climate-related risks and opportunities.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Many governments and regulatory bodies use the GHG Protocol as a benchmark.

Key Components of the GHG Protocol

The GHG Protocol is divided into three primary scopes:

  • Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
  • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy.
  • Scope 3: Indirect emissions from the value chain (upstream and downstream activities).  

By understanding these scopes, you can identify the primary sources of your organization’s carbon footprint and focus your reduction efforts accordingly.
