Climate Change: Services

Third Party Verification Services

 

Third party independent verification of GHG management activities provides additional assurance and credibility to corporate inventories, annual reports, or reduction projects, facilitating acceptance and use by stakeholders. Verification is a key step to gaining access to GHG markets and emission credits trading. 

 

We offer a range of verification services, including: executing a “pre-audit” in preparation for an external audit; performing a full-scale validation/verification audit, complete with detailed assessment reports and suggestions for improvement; and emission credit valuation.

Technical Assistance & Consulting Services

 

First Environment assists clients in a range of industries – including power generation, oil and gas, waste management, and forestry products – with GHG management. Our technical support and consulting services are tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Some clients may need an internal protocol, training on data collection and GHG inventory, or assistance in setting their inventory boundaries.

 

Others may need support in writing a climate change policy, or identifying ineffective portions of their current policy. Whatever the conditions, First Environment’s understanding of the technical aspects of climate change data control facilitates the process. Once organized, our clients can accurately manage their records in order to pursue emission trading and other GHG opportunities.
