Bethesda, MD, March 19, 2024 – As the demand for sustainability reporting and accountability grows, organizations need reliable and efficient tools to track and communicate their progress. In order to meet this critical need, GRF CPAs & Advisors has partnered with Workiva Carbon (formerly Sustain.Life), a comprehensive sustainability software platform that simplifies carbon accounting and ESG reporting.
Workiva Carbon is a cloud-based solution that enables organizations to measure, manage, and report on their greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water usage, waste generation, and other sustainability indicators. The platform integrates with various data sources, such as utility bills, invoices, meters, and sensors, and automates the calculation of carbon footprints and sustainability metrics. Workiva Carbon also provides dashboards, analytics, and reporting features that help organizations identify opportunities for improvement, set targets, and track progress.
By partnering with Workiva Carbon, GRF CPAs & Advisors can offer its clients a more holistic approach to sustainability management. The partnership complements GRF’s existing risk advisory services: environmental, social, and governance (ESG), enterprise risk management (ERM), and internal audit solutions. GRF can help its clients leverage Workiva Carbon’s platform to collect and verify sustainability data, align with best practices and standards, and disclose their performance to stakeholders.
“Organizations are working to comply with evolving stakeholder expectations,” noted Melissa Musser, partner and director of GRF’s Risk & Advisory services. “By leveraging Sustain.Life’s powerful sustainability platform, we can now offer our clients a more comprehensive suite of tools and resources that helps them reduce their environmental impact and achieve their sustainability goals.”
