SHANGHAI, Sept. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Bureau Veritas is proud to announce its recent partnership with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Within the scope of the partnership, Bureau Veritas will contribute and help develop solutions for the most pressing environmental issues today, based on its carbon emissions measurement and management related services.
As an independent certification body, Bureau Veritas was accredited by CDP to offer verification of carbon data as part of a CDP submission, as well as consulting on CDP related compilation and integration. Independently verified carbon data improves the quality and reliability of an organization’s GHG emissions and this is accounted for in CDP’s scoring process, thereby improving the ranking of a reporting organization within the CDP’s leadership indices. Such information is being increasingly used by investors and other decision makers in assessing and comparing carbon performance in business.
Bureau Veritas is sponsoring the CDP and has worked in conjunction with other verification working group partners to publish the CDP’s White Paper on “Verification of Climate Data.” This document provides key insight into verification and assurance, why third party verification is important and how it can benefit companies along with practical guidance on the topic. In addition, the project has already sought Bureau Veritas Certification’s assistance in creating upcoming publications such as the Verification Roadmap and Strategy.
The CDP is a non-profit organization which maintains the world’s largest database of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. More than 3,000 organizations in some 60 countries and all major economies now disclose carbon data to the CDP.
