    Business Challenge





    Climate change is the most critical global environmental issue we face today. In an effort to address climate change, numerous voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) programs have evolved in the United States. Federal regulation is imminent. Businesses face increasingly complex requirements for identifying and reporting GHG emissions and achieving reduction targets. Stakeholders expect companies to publically reveal their performance concerning climate change and other sustainability issues. Businesses must decide how to respond to growing demand for environmental and social accountability.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
    How can I get credit for early action for GHG emission reductions?

    Companies should first establish a GHG emission inventory and have it verified by a qualified third-party.  We anticipate that future regulatory requirements will allow companies to take credit for their verified reductions in GHG.


    What is the most accepted format for a sustainability report?

    Many companies use the Global Reporting Initiative(GRI) protocols.  This format facilitates the triple bottom line reporting which includes environmental, social, and financial performance measurements.
