JERICHO,
N.Y., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
consulting firm J.S. Held, proudly celebrating 50 transformative
years, announces a collaboration with enterprise emissions
management software firm Optera to explore the topic of greenhouse
gas (GHG) verification and how GHG verifiers partner with companies
to ensure data is accurate and actionable while guiding how to
improve sustainability programs. In the newly released paper GHG
Verification: Why it Matters and How it Works, sustainability
experts explore several important topics, including:
- The Four Pillars of GHG Verification
- Why GHG Verification Matters to Organizations
- What Happens 'Behind the Scenes' of GHG Verification
- Common Challenges & Pitfalls in the GHG Verification
Process
J.S. Held partners with enterprise
emissions management software firm Optera to explore GHG
verification process.
Regulatory programs, including the European Union Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive and the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) 2024 climate disclosure rules, make GHG
verification a corporate strategic imperative. Greenhouse gas
verification is a critical part of carbon emissions reporting in
corporate sustainability programs, directly impacting an
organization's credibility, regulatory standing, and ability to
drive real reductions in their environmental impact.
"The verification experts at J.S. Held embody the proven
competencies, accreditations, and understanding of the standards
and related reporting obligations, making them a perfect partner
for the development of this essential primer," said Optera
cofounder and Chief Revenue Officer Ty
Colman .

Digital Solutions expert from J.S. Held, shares, "We are thrilled
to have been selected by Optera to co-author this important primer
to support accuracy and actionability in corporate reporting based
on company data managed in the platform." Andersen adds, "Our

the insights around the data that serve to improve corporate
sustainability programs."
