The vision of the GHG Protocol is to enable transformative corporate GHG measurement and management practices to grow a low-carbon economy. WRI and WBCSD achieve this through the mission to develop international carbon management standards and tools and promote their broad adoption worldwide.

The WBCSD also works with its member companies to support the implementation of GHG management and reporting practices, and position member companies at the forefront of business in reducing its climate impact through the work program of the WBCSD GHG Protocol Working Group.

The GHG Protocol standards provide the accounting framework for nearly every GHG standard and program in the world - from the International Standards Organization to The Carbon Disclosure Project - as well as hundreds of GHG inventories prepared by individual companies.

The GHG Protocol also offers developing countries an internationally accepted management tool to help their businesses to compete in the global marketplace and their governments to make informed decisions about climate change.
