Course Introduction
As global climate commitments intensify, companies are being held accountable not only for their direct emissions but also for the environmental impact of their entire supply chain. Decarbonizing the supply base has become essential for achieving net-zero targets, complying with regulations, and meeting stakeholder expectations. This practical course equips supply chain, procurement, and sustainability professionals with tools to assess, reduce, and report carbon emissions across suppliers and logistics partners.
Participants will learn how to calculate Scope 3 emissions, design supplier engagement strategies, embed sustainability into procurement decisions, and align with standards such as the GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 14064.
