Organisational GHG Assurance – Overview

Introduction 

In today’s world, addressing and managing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions has become a critical part of any organization’s sustainability journey.  
 
Various Governments including India and International organizations like the United Nations, and global initiatives (BRSR– Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting, ICM- Indian Carbon Market, ESRS- European Sustainability Reporting Standards, UK SRS- Sustainability Reporting Standards etc.) are increasingly urging businesses to demonstrate their commitment to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This call to action reflects a global consensus on the urgent need to address climate change and transition to a low carbon economy.   
 
At RSJ, we specialize in providing expert services to help businesses assess, verify, and assure their carbon footprints in line with global standards. Whether you’re looking to measure your GHG emissions, ensure the accuracy of your inventory, or gain third-party assurance, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

What businesses can do?  

Businesses can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, investing in renewable energy sources, optimizing supply chains, promoting sustainable behaviors, setting emission reduction targets, engaging stakeholders, offsetting carbon footprints, advocating for supportive policies, and transparently reporting sustainability efforts. Through these actions, businesses can help mitigate climate change and build a more sustainable future. 

Why are GHG Verifications required?  

GHG Verification help businesses understand and manage their greenhouse gas emissions by measuring how much they’re emitting and from where. By identifying areas with high emissions, setting goals to reduce them, and keeping track of progress, audits guide companies in becoming more eco-friendly.    

Organization Levels of GHG Verification  

Organization Level GHG Verification:
This verification assesses the overall Greenhouse Gas emissions of an organization, including emissions from direct activities (Scope 1), energy consumption (Scope 2), and indirect sources such as supply chain and transportation (Scope 3). Our comprehensive assessment provides organizations with a holistic view of their carbon footprint, enabling them to set emission reduction targets and implement sustainability initiatives.
