WHY CERTIFICATION?

Global EP(GHG) Certification

There is a growing demand for reliable greenhouse gas (GHG) management, accounting, reporting, analysis, and verification work globally. Over time, there will be deeper and growing number of voluntary and regulatory drivers, including mandatory GHG reporting; regulatory and voluntary carbon markets; Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures; net-zero transition planning; and value chain mitigation GHG assessments, among others. And now all countries under the Paris Agreement must conduct rigorous biennial GHG reporting and mitigation tracking.

With increasingly mature demands of on our profession comes the risk that it may not be adequately staffed with well-skilled and highly ethical practitioners. We cannot afford a lack of technical competency or integrity to undermine the credibility of voluntary actions or regulations. Similarly, as companies need to expand their talent pool within this field, they require a trusted and reliable benchmark of competency to hire. But, critically, professionalization must support and provide a path to newcomers, not as a barrier to entry.
