Seven experts from SGS Pakistan have been recently certified as greenhouse gases lead auditors for GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1. This will allow SGS to better satisfy the increasing demand for climate change services.
Combatting the global warming
Climate change is the most important challenge of the 21st century because it requires approaching economic growth in a new way. Companies are under increasing pressure to take measures to combat global warming over and above their basic legal obligations.
It hence becomes critical for organizations to determine their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
What SGS does for climate change agenda
As the world leader for testing, inspection and certification, SGS is the first choice for companies looking to manage their GHG emissions.
