The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council on Sustainable Development, sets the global standard for measuring, managing, and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. More than 9 out of 10 Fortune 500 companies reporting to CDP use GHG Protocol.
The GHGP selected SCS’s Victoria Evans to serve on its global Corporate Standard Technical Working Group to support upcoming revisions to the Protocol. To comply with new climate disclosure requirements, the GHGP’s Corporate Standard is specifically referenced as the GHG accounting basis to apply under California’s SB 253 law and the SEC’s Climate Disclosure Rule, as well as in the EU’s CSRD disclosure rule. Members of the Technical Working Group provide technical input to support the revision of the GHG Protocol standards and guidance, working closely with the GHG Protocol Secretariat and the Independent Standards Board. Thus, the upcoming revisions by GHGP will be an important update globally.
Victoria Evans is the SCS Engineers’ National Practice Leader for Climate Change. She brings decades of professional expertise in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) tracking and verification, energy management, air quality, and the environment from her successful work in consulting, R&D, academia, and the federal government for hundreds of projects at global facilities.
Evans has directed or performed hundreds of GHG studies for a diverse set of US and global corporations and governmental organizations, including Vantage, 3M, Comcast, Dow, National Grid, the U.S. Postal Service, Chevron, Tucson Water, and Edwards Air Force Base. Her work involves developing voluntary and mandatory GHG inventories, reporting, California Cap-and-Trade compliance strategies, carbon reduction roadmaps, and life cycle analyses as well.
Her substantial career experience includes environmental impact analysis and air permit support for over 50 facilities, including coal, natural gas, biogas, and biomass-fueled electricity generation and coal syngas facilities. In R&D, Evans developed successful environmental, air quality, and climate research projects with electric utilities on three continents and collaborated with utilities in Finland, Sweden, the Philippines, Italy, Scotland, and France.
Evans led regulatory and legislative analyses involving carbon and energy for landmark initiatives and advised on developing GHG reporting rules and protocols for carbon offset projects. GHGP selected Victoria because of her unique profile and experience and because she is “an ideal fit to join us as a member of the Corporate Standard Technical Working Group.”
