About Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Greenhouse Gas Protocol is the world’s leading authority and international standard setter on corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting. Building on a 20-year partnership between World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), GHG Protocol works with governments, industry associations, NGOs, businesses and other organizations. In 2016, 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies responding to the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) used GHG Protocol to account for their emissions. GHG Protocol also provides standards, tools and online training to help countries and cities track progress towards their climate goals.
GHG Protocol's mission is to develop the most credible, accessible, and widely used greenhouse gas accounting and reporting standards and to proactively facilitate their global adoption and implementation.
Our vision is that all private and public entities account for their GHG emissions, enabling an acceleration in reductions in line with the global warming limits required by climate science.
