Description
Learn why Greenhouse Gas Accounting (GHG) accounting is important and how to use the information as part in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting, or carbon accounting, refers to the process of conducting assessments to quantify the total GHGs produced directly and indirectly from business operations and other organizational activities. This is also called the carbon footprint of a company. Reliable and comprehensive corporate GHG footprint accounting is the first step in the management of climate performance.
In this course, you will discuss in detail why companies should conduct GHG accounting and how the investor community can use the data as part of their ESG and climate strategies. You will be able to define scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and explore frameworks and processes to support companies in preparing and analyzing a GHG inventory.
GHG accounting information is an important metric to evaluate climate change-related risks and understand a company's approach to mitigating its GHG emissions.
