Carbon Neutrality (PAS 2060)

Steady increases in the level of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere are adding considerable and unprecedented stress to the environment. Frequent flooding, rising sea levels and shifting weather patterns are just a few evident consequences.  

SGS Greenhouse Gas Emissions Solutions

We started developing specialist GHG verification and advisory services in 1998, following the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. Our services consider all aspects of a business’s approach to GHG and can be used by companies and operations of all sizes, from SMEs to large global conglomerates across all industry segments.

Our pragmatic approach helps you continuously improve your monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions
