Scope 3 Emissions Calculation Intensive Training

Purpose of this intensive training:

Intensive training with a complete review of all 15 categories of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. The program provides the maximum knowledge and skills required to calculate indirect emissions successfully, including skills in working with source data and information on the emission factors used in calculations. Particular attention is devoted to one of the most complex categories—Category 15, “Investments.”

What participants can expect from the intensive training:

• A convenient recorded intensive training format on an online platform.

• Analysis of complex calculation issues and real-world examples.

• The opportunity to ask questions about the intensive training materials and receive detailed answers from experienced practitioners.

The intensive training helps answer the following questions:

• How are Scope 3 emission sources identified?

• How should source data be processed?

• How is life cycle assessment (LCA) related to indirect emissions?

• What guidelines and methodologies are used for calculations and Scope 3 reporting?

• How is Scope 3 reporting developed?

• What must be included in Scope 3 reporting?

• How are greenhouse gas emissions calculated for all 15 Scope 3 categories?

Who the intensive training is for:

All participants in the emerging low-carbon economy market, which opens up broad new opportunities for companies, including:

• Specialists involved in carbon footprint analysis, life cycle assessment (LCA), and verification.

• Senior executives and owners of large, medium-sized, and small businesses planning to scale and expand internationally and therefore facing international climate requirements.

• Business sustainability managers.

• Representatives of organizations subject to greenhouse gas reporting regulation.

• Climate risk specialists.

• Regulators developing climate legislation.

What participants will receive after completing the intensive training:

• Skills in calculating indirect greenhouse gas emissions.

• Skills in working with source data and its sources.

• Knowledge of the specifics and rules of Scope 3 reporting.

• Review of Scope 3 questions with HPBS experts.

• A certificate of completion for the intensive training.
