The 1 Day IEMA Carbon Footprinting and Reporting course provides clear and practical guidance on current practices in carbon quantification.
Its primary focus is on establishing an organisational carbon footprint, as the basis for developing pathways to Net Zero.
It also provides an overview of other forms of quantification, including product footprinting, and explains how carbon footprints can help organisations plan for emissions reduction and developing pathways to Net Zero.
