Objective
Corporate Carbon Accounting and Net-Zero Strategies course is designed to help learners build a practical and strategic understanding of corporate carbon accounting, science-based target setting, net-zero planning, and business-wide decarbonization. The program aims to deliver a structured pathway for measuring greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 using the GHG Protocol, translating emissions data into credible science-based and net-zero targets, and implementing practical reduction levers such as energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy procurement, supply chain engagement, and high-integrity carbon removals. It also focuses on embedding climate action into core business strategy through internal carbon pricing, climate governance, financial disclosures, and a clear value case for long-term resilience, compliance, competitiveness, and sustainable growth.
