The collaboration with Grant Thornton will deliver value to their clients by receiving audit-ready tailored solutions that align with their specific needs and industry standards.


"Carbon accounting is becoming an essential aspect of business operations as companies strive to meet regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations," said Andrew Rigele, National Managing Partner – ESG, Grant Thornton.

"By connecting with Sumday, we can empower our clients with the tools and expertise needed to accurately account and report on their greenhouse gas emissions in a way that helps them to make informed decisions that positively impact the environment and their bottom line."
