Measuring to Manage

The document outlines the necessity of establishing credible platforms for accounting and reporting corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to address climate change. It identifies common challenges in program design—including objective setting, geographic scope, reporting specifications, and quality assurance—and offers guidance based on the experience of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) to help stakeholders develop customized GHG programs.

• Effective climate action at the country, regional, or state level requires a credible platform for accounting and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from corporations.
• Corporate GHG programs are implemented across various geographic scales, including national, regional, state, provincial, and municipal levels, to support voluntary reporting, regulatory systems, and the tracking of reduction targets.
