September 30, 2025

ClimeCo is proud to announce that three colleagues within the organization, Emily Damon, Chief Growth Officer; David Prieto, VP Sustainability Advisory; and Garrett Keraga, Director, Sustainability Advisory, have achieved the designation of “SBTi Certified Expert” through the SBTi Academy. Notably, Emily, David, and Garrett were invited to participate in becoming certified, building on ClimeCo’s leadership in GHG accounting, target setting, and beyond, and are among just *45 professionals worldwide to have achieved this certification, making their accomplishment especially significant.

The SBTi certification is through the SBTi Academy and is the official SBTi certification recognizing individuals’ expertise in successfully applying SBTi standards, tools and guidance. The rigorous, assessment-based pathway is a mark of technical proficiency across the full target-setting process. This validation of up-to-date expertise is especially important given the revisions to SBTi’s Corporate Net Zero Standard that are ongoing this year.

“This certification reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standard of climate advisory services, building on 15+ years of ClimeCo’s dedication to supporting companies of all sizes with their sustainability journeys,” shared Emily Damon, Chief Growth Officer, ClimeCo. “For our clients, it means greater confidence that the strategies we develop and implement together are grounded in the most up-to-date science. It’s about helping them move forward with credibility, clarity, and impact . SBTi’s guidance influences far more than just the companies with validated targets. With ClimeCo’s expertise and role in shaping these standards, our clients gain the insight they need to make strategic, business-driving sustainability moves.

Emily, David, and Garrett’s achievement of receiving this rigorous and prestigious certification demonstrates advanced knowledge in greenhouse gas accounting, target-setting methods, and corporate decarbonization strategies aligned with climate science.
