About
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) develops and maintains globally recognized standards, tools, and training that enable businesses and governments to accurately measure, report, and manage greenhouse gas emissions across operations, value chains, and mitigation initiatives. Leveraging a two‑decade partnership between the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the organization provides comprehensive guidance for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, supporting climate‑aligned strategies such as the Paris Agreement. By delivering clear frameworks and practical resources, GHG Protocol helps organizations improve efficiency, enhance resilience, and drive sustainable growth while meeting regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
