Delve into the intricate world of carbon accounting, reporting, and measurement with our masterclass on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Designed for professionals seeking comprehensive knowledge in sustainability and environmental management, this masterclass offers a deep dive into the methodologies, tools, and best practices essential for understanding and managing carbon footprints effectively.
In this intensive course, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the three scopes of emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and learn how to identify, quantify, and report emissions associated with direct operations (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2), and indirect activities along the value chain (Scope 3). Through practical exercises and real-world case studies, attendees will develop the skills needed to conduct robust carbon inventories, set reduction targets, and implement strategies to mitigate emissions across all scopes.
Led by expert instructors with extensive experience in sustainability and carbon management, this masterclass offers a unique opportunity to engage with peers, exchange insights, and gain actionable knowledge to drive organisational sustainability goals forward.
