and WBCSD recognized the need for an international standard for corporate GHG
accounting and reporting in the late 1990s. Together with large corporate partners such as
BP and General Motors, in 1998 WRI published a report called, “Safe Climate, Sound
Business.” It identified an action agenda to address climate change that included the need
for standardized measurement of GHG emissions. Similar initiatives were being
discussed at WBCSD. In late 1997, WRI senior managers met with WBCSD officials and
an agreement was reached to launch an NGO-business partnership to address
standardized methods for GHG accounting. WRI and WBCSD convened a core steering
group comprised of members from environmental groups (such as WWF, Pew Center on
Global Climate Change, The Energy Research Institute) and industry (such as Norsk
Hydro, Tokyo Electric, Shell) to guide the multi-stakeholder standard development

process.

The first edition of the Corporate Standard, published in 2001, has been updated with
additional guidance that clarifies how companies can measure emissions from electricity
and other energy purchases, and account for emissions from throughout their value
chains. GHG Protocol also developed a suite of calculation tools to assist companies in
calculating their greenhouse gas emissions and measure the benefits of climate change
mitigation projects. The Paris Agreement, adopted within the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in December 2015, commits participating all
countries to limit global temperature rise, adapt to changes already occurring, and
regularly increase efforts over time. GHG Protocol is developing standards, tools and

online training that helps countries and cities track progress towards their climate goals
