The GHG Protocol also helps give developing countries an internationally accepted management tool to help their businesses to compete in the global marketplace and their governments to make informed decisions about climate change. It covers the accounting and reporting of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol — carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). It was designed with the following objectives in mind: • To help companies prepare a GHG inventory that represents a true and fair account of their emissions, through the use of standardized approaches and principles. • To simplify and reduce the costs of compiling a GHG inventory • To provide business with information that can be used to build an effective strategy to manage and reduce GHG emissions • To increase consistency and transparency in GHG accounting and reporting among various companies and GHG programs Opinion: I don’t believe that many huge companies really care about global warming and if they do it’s hard to believe that the entire business helps to keep their emissions low. I think that the protocol is fine; at least we are looking to big companies to set an example on how to reduce carbon emissions but it’s not enough. They should set up competitions or look at carbon footprints within the work place just so that they make sure to get everyone involved. Companies should be trying to keep their own carbon footprint small because they know it’s good for the environment NOT because they are being forced too by the GHG Protocol. People need to become better informed about the consequences of using so much energy and of polluting our earth. I think that is what the GHG Protocol should be focusing on – informing people.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)
The most broadly used international accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand, calculate, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. The GHG Protocol is working with businesses, governments, and environmental groups around the world to build a new generation of reliable and effective programs for dealing with climate change. 
The GHG Protocol also helps give developing countries an internationally accepted management tool to help their businesses to compete in the global marketplace and their governments to make informed decisions about climate change.
