Why Choose this Training Course?

The Understanding Scope 3 Emissions Training Course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their growing importance within corporate sustainability and climate strategies. Scope 3 emissions refer to indirect emissions generated throughout an organisation’s value chain, including both upstream and downstream activities. These emissions arise from business-related activities that occur outside the direct operational control of the organisation and may include emissions associated with suppliers, transportation, product usage, and end-of-life disposal.

For many organisations, Scope 3 emissions represent the largest share of their total carbon footprint. Due to the complexity of value chains and the involvement of multiple external stakeholders, measuring and managing these emissions can be highly challenging. Nevertheless, organisations worldwide increasingly recognise that addressing Scope 3 emissions is essential for effective climate action, improved sustainability performance, and long-term environmental responsibility.
