An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Carbon Accounting and Management:
Measuring, Reporting, and Reducing Emissions
Building the Framework for Transparent Climate Action, Effective Emission Reduction, and Net-Zero Transformation
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The Carbon Accounting and Management Course provides professionals with the essential knowledge and tools to measure, report, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with global climate goals. As organizations face mounting pressure to address their environmental footprint, effective carbon accounting has become central to business resilience, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability.
This EuroMaTech Carbon Accounting and Management Training Course bridges environmental science with corporate strategy, guiding participants through internationally recognized methodologies such as the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Participants will learn to quantify emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, build credible GHG inventories, and develop actionable reduction strategies that align with Net Zero commitments.
Through a combination of real-world case studies, hands-on exercises, and interactive workshops, delegates will enhance their ability to integrate carbon management into broader ESG frameworks. The course empowers professionals to transform data into strategic insights—helping their organizations strengthen transparency, unlock operational efficiency, and lead the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
