Verification
Annual third-party verification of reported greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data is an important component of The Climate Registry’s voluntary reporting program, as it ensures that our Members’ GHG inventories are accurate and complete. The Registry’s policy to require annual third-party verification lends credibility to its program and provides assurance to both Members and the public. The concept of verification is similar to the concept of a regular financial audit: an annual external assessment of reported financial information (or GHG emissions) provides useful and credible information to an organization’s stakeholders.
