Our carbon models provide the most reputable emission calculations anywhere. We designed them to comply with major international carbon accounting protocols, and we engaged Det Norske Veritas, one of the world's oldest and most respected environmental certifiers, to verify that our methodologies satisfy the requirements of the stated protocols.
“It is DNV's conclusion that Brighter Planet's GHG emissions tool is an appropriate calculation tool to estimate GHG emissions according to widely-accepted GHG calculation protocols, including the World Business Council for Sustainable Development / World Resource Institute (WBCSD/WRI) A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised Edition (GHG Protocol), ISO 14064, and The Climate Registry's General Reporting Protocol version 1.1 (May, 2008) (GRP).”
