[Montreal, Canada] – GHGSat, the global leader in high-resolution satellite greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, has been named a finalist in the prestigious Reuters Sustainability Awards. GHGSat was recognized in the SDG Pioneer category for its role empowering governments, industry, and financial institutions with accurate emissions data to meet ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“The Sustainable Development Goals serve as a call-to-arms, setting the globe on a more equitable and prosperous path while protecting the long-term health of the planet. At GHGSat, we are wholly focused on enabling organizations around the world to achieve SDG environmental benchmarks by providing emissions ground truth: precise, accurate data that tracks the sources of greenhouse gases worldwide,” said Stephane Germain, CEO of GHGSat. “We’re honored that our pioneering satellite constellation has been recognized for its impact in accelerating progress toward global emissions reduction.”
The Reuters Sustainability Awards honor sustainable businesses that move the needle, from organizations transforming their operations to be net zero to those addressing social inequality. The SDG Pioneer category highlights companies that have developed novel ways to help meet the Sustainable Development Goals at scale, driving measurable global progress. GHGSat was selected for its first-of-its-kind satellite technology, which pinpoints and measures greenhouse gas emissions from space.
Founded in 2011, GHGSat has built a constellation of satellites capable of detecting methane emissions from anywhere on the planet and tracing them to the level of an individual facility, at an unmatched near-daily frequency. Industry leaders across sectors including oil and gas, waste management, and agriculture rely on GHGSat’s data and insights for emissions mitigation, a cornerstone of their sustainability efforts. GHGSat’s data informs institutional environmental strategy, from government policies that address greenhouse gas emissions to sustainable investment strategies for financial institutions.
