Cut carbon, not corners: Carbon accounting 101 for ops leaders
Carbon accounting is quickly becoming part of the day-to-day for ops leaders at SMEs, so we're here to make it simple with clear, practical steps to help you get started - no sustainability background needed.
We invite you to an interactive webinar that's designed specifically for operations leaders without a sustainability background. 🔥
You’ll hear relatable examples from other SMEs, see practical tools in action, and leave with clarity on what to do next. There will also be space for Q&A and discussion.
You'll learn:
📊 What carbon accounting is and why it matters
🧭 The difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
🔬 What data you need to start measuring emissions in your own business
♻️ What is the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is + what it means to set a science-based Net Zero target
🔗 How to spot the connection between operational decisions and emissions
