FAQ

A number of the software providers we assessed agreed to have their Software Evaluation Summary published on our website.  The summaries document the main outcomes of the review process and include highlights and comments.  As a potential buyer, you can use the summaries to obtain unbiased technical information about GHG software products.  While the summaries provide unbiased technical information, they do not rank software packages and providers, or assess their ability to address your specific requirements.  Potential buyers of GHG software are well-served to include the companies evaluated by GHGMI on a short list of potential suppliers. But you are strongly advised to engage with software providers directly, to discuss and assess how each package/provider would meet you specific needs.

When you communicate to customers, potential customers or other stakeholders you may:

• Share the Software Evaluation Summary or the full Software Evaluation Report
• Use the following statement  “[name of software/service] functionalities have been tested and evaluated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute’s Software Evaluation Test Protocol”
• Include GHGMI’s Software Evaluation logo in you commercial communication

Make sure that you read, fully understand and comply with the program terms and conditions, as specified in your contract and summarized here.
