Your organisation should be based or have a strong influence on the North of Tyne region.

If you do not meet the eligibility criteria and want to attend the course, please visit here.

 

Course overview

The course is designed to provide the knowledge and skills to calculate the carbon footprint of an organisation, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The content is largely generic, supported by a range of case studies, and is applicable to organisations of any size or sector. 

Starting with an introduction to why organisations measure, report and commit to reducing carbon emissions with an overview of financial, legal and moral drivers including procurement drivers, UK legislation and climate science. This accumulates in an exercise on climate risk, opportunity and adaptation.  The afternoon of the first day then introduces basic carbon reporting inline with requirements of SECR Regulations (including topics such as Scope, 1, 2 and scope 3 business travel, baseline recalculation, scope 2 dual reporting).   

The second day progresses to reporting topics such as Scope 3 category 1 – purchased goods and services along with 4 other scope 3 categories to align with requirements of PPN 06/21.  This session then moves on to reviewing climate initiatives, setting a Net Zero Target and how to develop a Carbon Reduction Plan.

The course includes a number of activities and calculation exercises and delegates will also be sign posted to additional resources.  There is an expectation that learners will set aside an additional 1 day to work through the optional self-directed learning activities provided.

 

Who should attend? 

The courses aimed towards environmental managers, energy managers, facilities managers, sustainability managers, business owners and directors. The content is appropriate for all business sizes across the private and public sectors.

Designed for practitioners, tasked measuring the carbon impact of their organisation in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.  Delegates are not required to have prior knowledge of the topic, but those that do are equally welcome.

This two-day qualification in carbon footprinting GHG Accounting, Reporting and Reduction for Organisations.

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.

Many of organisations have identified their supply chain emissions (Category 1 - Purchased goods and services) as their largest source of carbon emissions and a 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). The course ends by exploring options for Net Zero target setting and carbon reduction planning in line with a range of recognised standards and initiatives.
