Two-day: Advanced Carbon Footprinting (GHG Accounting), Carbon Management and Carbon Reporting (IEMA Accredited for day 1)
This two-day advanced qualification in carbon footprinting GHG Accounting, Reporting and Reduction for Organisations.
The content will review the Climate Change Committee’s recommended 5 steps for business action on climate and explore options for target setting and carbon reduction planning in line with a range of recognised standards and initiatives.
The content will extend the learning in from the preceding parts to widen the boundary of organisational reporting to include more scope 3 subcategories. Whilst there won’t be time to cover all 15 sub-categories of scope 3, the course will look at 5 sub-categories as a minimum, as detailed below.
An increasing number of organisations have identified their supply chain emissions (Category 1 - Purchased goods and services) as strategic opportunity to measure, report and reduce emissions towards a Net Zero position. In addition, the requirements of PPN 06/21 require organisation to report on 5 subcategories of scope 3 (business travel, employee commuting, waste generated in operations, upstream transportation and distribution and downstream transportation and distribution).
This part of the course provides an introduction to Carbon Footprinting, GHG Accounting, SECR and Reporting practices for Organisations.
This aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to identify, quantify and report GHG emissions in an organisation (the carbon footprint) and plan action to reduce these emissions.
Learners can expect to cover basic carbon footprint practices that would be appropriate for Micro businesses, SMEs and large businesses alike, from any sector. The content will focus on the requirements to satisfy the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations. The content is aligned to the UK Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines, as well as the internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard for organisational reporting.
This part of the course provides an introduction to the climate crisis, the latest climate science and why we are facing a climate emergency. It can be booked as a standalone climate change course but it is recommended it is completed alongside the other parts of the course. The aim is to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to effectively engage employees and decision makers in meaningful conversations about climate risk, opportunity and action.
Delegates will explore the impacts the changing climate will have on the environment, society, economy, and a range of businesses. The session will cover the policy, market and stakeholder drivers for change and why we need to move beyond business as usual.
Who should attend?
Environmental managers, energy managers, sustainability managers, owners and Directors. The content is appropriate for Micro businesses, SMEs and large businesses alike, from any sector.
Testimonials:
This course has been incredibly comprehensive given we have only had two days to cover Scope 1, 2 and 3 (5 categories). The information and experienced gained from the last two days has increased my confidence in reporting (for an SME) and the exercises/activities we did were useful in making sure we could apply our knowledge. The course was led by Anna-Lisa who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with understanding the nuances of reporting for many different companies present on the course. The information was clearly laid out and accessible. I would definitely recommend the two day course to anyone who is starting out on understanding, measuring or reporting their organisations carbon footprint.
