Program Overview
This one-day expert-led program dives deep into carbon accounting frameworks, regulatory requirements, and Net Zero strategies, combining conceptual understanding with real-world case studies and interactive simulations. Participants will explore global standards such as the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and SBTi, analyze regulatory impacts like EU CBAM and carbon pricing, and study corporate best practices across industries. The session emphasizes hands-on exercises in carbon footprinting, roadmap design, and strategic trade-off decision-making, enabling participants to align sustainability with compliance and business value.
