This training will provide a step-by-step approach to measure and manage a company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It will also examine issues such as carbon neutrality, choosing the appropriate boundaries when accounting for GHG emissions and deciding on how far down the value chain companies should be looking.
