This 2-day course revisits some of the key concepts, principles and practices, of organizational GHG emissions and removals quantification and reporting, outlined in ISO 14064-1; and summarizes related requirements for carbon footprinting of products, provided by ISO 14067. This refresh then provides the foundation required to know and understand the key principles and requirements for demonstrating carbon neutrality, following a hierarchy on a pathway to Net Zero, outlined by ISO 14068-1. The course aims to explain how the pathway is used in developing a carbon neutrality management plan, the methodologies used for carbon footprint quantification, use of offset, and provides clear guidance for those responsible for the achievement of carbon neutrality.

How will I benefit?

The course will help you:

  • Understand the basics of climate change and its impact on Planet Earth and human society
  • To know and understand the international trends and efforts to address the climate crisis, including evolving policy and regulatory landscape related to carbon reduction, carbon neutrality, and net zero
  • Develop a comprehensive strategy to achieve carbon neutrality, on your pathway to net zero
  • Understand the requirements for selection of a carbon neutrality subject and the quantification of its carbon footprint
  • Understand the hierarchy on a carbon neutrality pathway in ISO 14068-1, including emission reduction, removal enhancement and possible use of carbon credits for offsetting
  • Embed GHG management and carbon neutrality into your environmental and energy management activities
  • Improve environmental and energy performance, contributing to reduced risk, carbon emissions, and associated costs
  • Enhance your sustainability credentials and improve organizational resilience

Support your organization and local, national, and regional endeavours to mitigate climate risks and wider social and corporate governance efforts

What will I learn?

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
• Outline the key principles, requirements, terms, and guidelines of ISO 14068-1
• Describe the relationship between ISO 14068-1 and the broader family of ISO standards addressing GHG emissions, and environmental management
• Develop a plan to become carbon neutral: Quantification, reduction, offsetting and reporting
• Prepare and document a carbon neutrality management plan
• Claim and maintain carbon neutrality status
• Outline the evolving policy and regulatory landscape related to carbon neutrality claiming
