GPM Global — 2025 Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Net Positive Impact Data

1. Scope of Engagement

This verification statement covers the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon removal data disclosed by GPM Global (Green Project Management Global) for the reporting period 1 January – 31 December 2025. The verification includes direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2), and other indirect (Scope 3) emissions, as well as the carbon removal activities contributing to GPM’s Net Positive Carbon Impact claim.

2. Standards and Methodologies

Verification was conducted in accordance with the following frameworks and protocols:

ISO 14064-3:2019 — Greenhouse Gas Verification and Validation
GHG Protocol: Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)
GRI 305: Emissions (2021)
CDP 2025 Climate Disclosure Guidance
IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures (2023)
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Guidance

3. Organizational Boundary and Reporting Principles

GPM’s reporting boundary follows the equity-share approach under the GHG Protocol and includes all offices, staff, and controlled consulting and training operations globally. Verification activities considered the principles of relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency, and accuracy.
