Mohin, formerly of Boston Consulting Group, will assume the newly created CEO role by June 1, as 97% of S&P 500 companies use GHG Protocol standards.
His appointment comes as over 60 major firms, including Apple and GM, urge the GHG Protocol to make proposed Scope 2 emissions reporting changes optional, citing concerns about efficiency and feasibility.
The organization is also considering stricter Scope 3 reporting requirements, while Mohin aims to balance stakeholder interests and guide the protocol through a shift toward mandatory global climate disclosures.
