Overview
We are at a watershed moment in corporate climate history. That is, organisations are extending their approach on climate change. Before, corporate emphasis was on the impact of their operations on climate, whether that be positive or negative (“inside out”). Now, it is extended to the impact of climate on an organization’s financial and ESG performance, whether that be positive or negative (“outside in”). This approach garners a lot more interest from stakeholders and extends to climate-related financial disclosure requirements. Underpinning this new extended corporate approach is achieving NET ZERO status. But exactly what does NET ZERO mean and what are the implications for an organisation that wants to achieve it?
Key questions directly related to the process of NET ZERO
What impact will it have on our markets and customers?
Will our organization lose ground to our competitors, or will it benefit?
What are the supply chain implications?
What climate risks do I need to identify and assess?
What corporate opportunities are available?
The course addresses those questions and provides participants with a summary of the processes needed to prepare a corporate strategy to transition to NET ZERO.
The course content provides an overview of key concepts including:
The rules for developing a carbon inventory (i.e. carbon footprint).
Understanding greenhouse gas emissions in the context of the carbon inventory.
