Companies are increasingly expected to understand and reduce their climate impact — by regulators, investors, and customers. But many organizations struggle to take the first step: measuring their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This training helps you make sense of carbon accounting and provides a practical method to calculate your emissions. Whether you're just starting or want to improve your current approach, this training will equip you with the knowledge and tools to get going.
After completing the training, you'll get exclusive access to practical tools that help you put what you've learned into action right away:
- Excel template for emission calculations (Scope 1 & 2) — Start measuring with a ready-to-use calculator
- Scope 3 screening tool — Identify relevant categories based on the GHG Protocol’s 15-category framework
- Reference table of common (open source) emission factors — Includes both activity-based and spend-based values for easy matching
These resources are designed to save you time and accelerate your sustainability efforts.
What you will learn
- Understand the difference between scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
- Identify relevant emission sources within your organization and value chain
- Learn how to match activity and spend data with the right emission factors
