GHG Protocol

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is a standard (or series of standards) for accounting of greenhouse gas emissions, which is coordinated by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). The GHG Protocol defines the global warming potential of the most important greenhouse gases and classifies Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. In contrast to the SIA/KBOB framework, the GHG Protocol allows the distinction between direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) emissions and is therefore used by numerous reporting standards such as AMAS, REIDA, PCAF, CRREM, TCFD, SBTi, etc.
