Greenhouse Gas Protocol is the most widely used GHG accounting and reporting standard in the world, serving as the foundation for most other standards and initiatives tackling corporate decarbonization. GHG Protocol’s robust multi-stakeholder governance process has been integral to its success over the past 25 years, and we remain committed to an inclusive approach. All governance documents can be found listed below and are also included, along with meeting materials, in our Governance Document Repository.
