Carbon Footprinting and Reporting: Frequently Asked Questions

How is this course different from the Carbon Management Course?

The Carbon Footprinting and Reporting course incorporates everything we know and love about the Carbon Management course, but spends more time on the things that delegates ask questions about – detailed Carbon Footprinting, Scope 3 Emissions, and more. We’ve also made some adjustments surrounding the course flow – we’ve shortened the amount of time spent setting the scene for the climate crisis, and lengthened the time spent physically calculating a carbon footprint.

Is Scope 3 covered in this course?

Yes – the course provides a comprehensive overview of the definition of Scope 3, and the most common challenges associated with calculating and managing this type of emission and how to mitigate them. The Carbon Footprint exercise also covers some of the most common areas for businesses when it comes to Scope 3 emissions.

What is the module breakdown of the course?

The course has six modules, including:

• Introduction and background
• Drivers for carbon footprinting and reporting
• Carbon quantification standards and schemes
• Principles and techniques of carbon footprinting and reporting
• Communicating carbon data
• Reducing emissions and Net Zero
