greenhouse gas accounting

Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting involves measuring and tracking the amount of greenhouse gases a company or organization releases into the atmosphere. This process helps identify sources of emissions, such as energy use, transportation, and manufacturing. By quantifying these emissions, organizations can understand their environmental impact, set reduction targets, and implement strategies to lower their carbon footprint. GHG accounting uses standardized methods to ensure accurate reporting, enabling companies to compare their performance over time and with others, ultimately supporting efforts to mitigate climate change.
