How can my organization become an
approved verification body?
To become a verification body for the GHG Reporting program, your organization must be accredited by either the California Air Resources Board's MRR Program or the ANSI National Accreditation Board's GHG Validation and Verification Body accreditation program and submit all materials required in the verification body application.
