Introduction to Carbon Footprinting and Accounting
About this training module:
This course provides you with the skills to calculate the carbon footprint of your organisation and produce a carbon footprint report. The course provides a step-by-step breakdown of carbon footprint calculation, from identifying sources of greenhouse gas emissions in your organisation, collecting data to using freely available carbon conversion tools to calculate carbon emissions.
Measuring your Carbon Footprint helps you to understand the energy consumption of your organisation and identify the greenhouse emissions associated with your organisation’s activities. It will assist in identifying opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of your organisation and cut costs at the same time.
