Albert Lu

Senior Sustainability Engineer
GSI Environmental Inc.

Albert brings the scientific rigor of environmental engineering to the compliance frontlines of corporate sustainability — at a moment when the rules keep changing and the stakes keep rising.

Albert is a Senior Sustainability Engineer and CARB-accredited GHG Lead Verifier — one of a relatively small number of professionals credentialed to independently verify greenhouse gas emissions data under California’s rigorous regulatory framework.

At GSI Environmental, he works with organizations navigating the increasingly complex intersection of climate disclosure, GHG accounting, and regulatory compliance. His background spans environmental science at UCLA, environmental engineering at USC, and seven years as a Project Manager and Environmental Scientist at the California Department of Water Resources — giving him a grounding in real-world environmental systems that most sustainability consultants don’t have.

His perspective on the field is clear-eyed and practical. He believes that behind the headlines — the policy reversals, the legal challenges to California’s SB 253 and SB 261, the greenhushing — sustainability professionals are still doing the work. And that the businesses with mature programs are already reaping the benefits of investments made years ago.

What I’d love to discuss during the event

  • California’s climate disclosure mandates are under legal challenge, but the SB 253 reporting requirements continue to reshape corporate planning. How are companies preparing, and how many are still behind?
  • GHG data granularity is often the difference between intelligent capital allocation and guesswork. What does it actually take to build emissions data that drives real business decisions?
  • Business growth and emissions growth are increasingly decoupling, even in the absence of strong policy tailwinds. What’s driving that trend, and how durable is it over the long term?
