Description
Greenhouse gas emissions
or, as it is also called,
carbon footprint
is a fundamental component of the overall sustainability performance of any organisation. Measuring Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHGs) involves quantifying the amount of GHGs released into atmosphere as a result of operations directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a company. As
carbon accounting
is becoming mandatory across many regions, we created a course that will help you navigate this subject.
The course provides a brief overview of the key
voluntary and mandatory disclosure regulations
that require reporting of the greenhouse gases. It defines
carbon accounting concepts
, explains which
data and calculation methods
are required in order to calculate the GHG emissions.
In this course you will explore examples of
GHG inventories and sustainability reports
so that you feel comfortable understanding and analysing GHG emissions data in these reports. We will discuss
key carbon accounting standards
, mostly focusing on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology. At the same time we will look at the criticisms of this standard and the solutions that are proposed by the academics from Harvard and Oxford, specifically focussing on
E-Liability accounting
method and how it drives
GHG reductions
across value chains and helps with competitiveness and
product differentiation
based on
carbon intensity
.
The course is structured in a way that is gives you an insight into the process disregarding the size of the business or the industry, but if you want to dig deeper, we will provide you with additional reading materials by sector. We will briefly touch the question of how
technologies
and software can help you with the carbon accounting process automation and what you need to pay attention to when
choosing the software
. And we will also talk about existing
collaboration initiatives
that you might want to join to get support/benchmarking for your carbon reporting and GHG reduction activities.
