Central to this is the ability to accurately measure, calculate, and report your organisation\u2019s carbon footprint. Whether you are preparing for compliance, strengthening your ESG transparency, or advancing your broader sustainability strategy, this program equips you with the practical knowledge and technical skills to produce high-quality greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data. You will learn how to quantify your organisation\u2019s emissions, interpret your results, and identify priority areas for reduction\u2014unlocking both climate benefits and potential cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed for both emerging and established professionals working across sustainability, governance, finance, and environmental management, the program offers a comprehensive and applied exploration of <strong>Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions accounting<\/strong>. You will gain a solid grounding in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, develop capability in boundary-setting, materiality decisions, data collection, and reporting methodologies, and learn to navigate the complexities of supply-chain emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by instructors with deep expertise in sustainability, carbon accounting, and regulation, this short-course provides a valuable platform to connect with peers, share insights, and translate technical requirements into practical action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will leave with the confidence and capability to drive your organisation\u2019s climate reporting obligations\u2014and its broader sustainability ambitions\u2014forward with rigour and credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion content\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n                \n\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">Learning outcomes<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <p>By completing this masterclass, you will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gain a detailed understanding of how to measure, monitor, and report Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon inventory emission levels.<\/li>\n<li>Recognise the key challenges related to Scope 3 emissions and develop effective solutions, especially in your relationships with suppliers (upstream) and customers (downstream).<\/li>\n<li>Develop and implement suitable carbon reporting methodologies, make informed decisions about establishing boundaries, setting materiality levels, allocating emissions, and identifying primary and secondary data requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Formulate practical and measurable targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and credibly report your performance to relevant stakeholders using best practice frameworks.<\/li>\n<li>Become proficient in accounting for GHG emissions in compliance with international carbon accounting frameworks, regulations, and related best practices.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen your understanding of regulations and standards in Australia (a leading expert in this area) and internationally.<\/li>\n<li>Meet the requirements of the regulatory sustainability framework\u2019s reporting and disclosure obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n        \n                            \n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Who-is-this-program-for?\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Who-is-this-program-for?\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Who-is-this-program-for?\">Who is this program for?<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Who-is-this-program-for?\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <p>This program is designed for leaders, managers, and decision-makers driving organisational change in the ESG space.
