How We Can Help

GHG Environmental’s Approach

Most organizations want to be good environmental stewards, doing their part to improve the environment. However, in the rapidly evolving landscape of ESG Reporting and Sustainability Planning, companies quite often don’t know where to begin. With the myriad of frameworks, standards, and reporting platforms such as SASB, TCFD, GRI, CDP, just to name a few, it becomes a literal alphabet soup of options and directions. It can be paralyzing for an organization.

At GHG we simplify all that, breaking through the industry jargon, acronyms, and buzz words of the day. We work with you on your level and find the right set of standards for your organization and industry, the appropriate framework, and the disclosure platform that let’s you tell your climate story, your way.
