Essential information about the course
Organizations that are serious about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should not only be able to quantify their overall carbon footprint, but also the carbon footprint generated by each of their products. Calculating the carbon footprint of products (CFP) is becoming increasingly relevant for businesses that want to demonstrate to their customers that they are reducing the GHG emissions of the products that they consume.
What are the benefits?
This course will help you:
- Comprehend the key principles for determining the carbon footprint of a product
- Quantify and report on the GHG emissions of your product(s)
- Recognize the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) when calculating the carbon footprint of products
- Appreciate the importance of verifying/validating GHG product statements and reports
Which qualification will I achieve?
By taking and passing the optional end of course qualification exam you will be awarded the BSI Greenhouse Gas Practitioner Qualification.
The Pathway
Who is this course for?
Anyone required to calculate, reduce, report and/or check their product(s) greenhouse gas emissions, including environmental and sustainability managers, officers, advisors and champions.
Prerequisites
