Reporting under the GHG Protocol
What is GHG Protocol?
The GHG Protocol refers to standardized frameworks for the measurement and management of greenhouse gas emissions. It includes both the private and public sectors, and breaks down emissions into three scopes: scope 1, scope 2, scope 3.
The GHG Protocol was developed through a partnership between the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), with publication of the first Corporate Standard in 2001. Since then, the standards have been amended and updated.
GHG Protocol's Objective
The objective of the GHG Protocol is to provide a comprehensive, standardized framework so organizations can measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions, along every step of their supply and value chains.
What are the different standards?
There are several different standards included in the GHG Protocol, providing a framework for varied entities, from local governments to large, multinational corporations.
- Corporate Standard
- Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard
- GHG Protocol for Cities
- Mitigation Gold Standard
- Policy and Action Standard
- Product Standard
- Project Protocol
