What is Vert?

📧 Have you received an email from your buyer, bank, or other business partner inviting you to connect with Vert and begin reporting?

You were asked to do so because every organization is required to measure, report, and reduce its carbon emissions throughout its entire value chain (Scope 3). That means that associate organization are also accountable for your company’s emissions, just like your company is accountable for carbon emissions along all your value chain.
