Corporate sustainability data is about to be placed under greater scrutiny than ever, as the SEC’s 2024 climate disclosure rules will require large companies to submit limited or reasonable assurance starting in the next few years. The good news is that greenhouse gas (GHG) verification provides a level of rigor and diligence that gives our industry added legitimacy, helping corporate sustainability avoid skepticism and claims of greenwashing.

On the individual company level, verifiers act as a collaborator, providing accuracy and actionability to your data along with recommendations on how to improve your sustainability program. When you’ve engaged a verifier, you can feel confident in what you’re reporting, both externally to the public and regulators and internally to your colleagues and stakeholders.

In partnership with Optera, we unpack the GHG verification process in this white paper as transparency and accuracy are essential to the success of corporate sustainability programs.

Topics covered include:

• The four pillars of GHG verification

• Why GHG verification matters

• Behind the scenes of GHG verification
