GHD's two key roles/responsibilities are to validate and/or verify GHG assertion in accordance with ISO 14064 Part 3.

To meet the requirements of an accredited validation and verification body under ISO 14065, GHD has established the Greenhouse Gas Assurance Services (GGAS) Group to manage all greenhouse gas assurance projects.

GHD will make publicly available any information about its validation and verification activities under ISO 14064 - Part 3 as required by ISO 14065.

Any comments or complaints received from clients, parties, project stakeholders, or any program stakeholders should be forwarded to GHD's GGAS Programme Manager, GGAS Manager or GGAS Principal. See the GGAS Management Team List to find out who the GGAS Program Manager is for your program. Download GHD's form to register a complaint or appeal.

Where required by a GHG program or registry, GHG validation and verification reports are made available on this web page. The reports may include information on baseline methodologies, monitoring reports, additionally, and information related to the environment.

GHD's Commitment to Impartial and Transparent Operations

GHD is committed to conducting its validation and verification services in an impartial and transparent manner, free of conflicts of interest. To this end, GHD conducts internal reviews to prevent acceptance of any engagement that may create a threat to impartiality or a potential or actual conflict of interest. GHD encourages feedback from any party, client, stakeholder, or members of the public regarding any matter that may be construed as a threat to GHD's impartiality in provision of its services.
