Course Details
Organizations that are serious about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should not only be able to quantify their overall carbon footprint, but also the carbon footprint generated by each of their products. Calculating the carbon footprint of products (CFP) is becoming increasingly relevant for businesses that want to demonstrate to their customers that they are reducing the GHG emissions of the products that they consume.
Course Aim
Learn how your organization can calculate the carbon footprint of its products.
How will I benefit?
This course will help you:
- Comprehend the key principles for determining the carbon footprint of a product
- Quantify and report on the GHG emissions of your product(s)
- Recognize the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) when calculating the carbon footprint of products
Appreciate the importance of verifying/validating GHG product statements and reports
What will I learn?
-
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Comprehend the key principles, requirements, terms, and guidelines of ISO 14067 and where it sits within the broader family of ISO standards addressing GHG emissions
- Develop a process map to calculate a product’s carbon footprint
- Calculate the in-use product carbon footprint for a range of products and the allocated carbon footprint of product
- Recognize the LCA process, including the difference between ‘cradle to gate’ and ‘cradle to grave’
Who should attend?
Anyone required to calculate, reduce, report and/or check their product(s) greenhouse gas emissions, including environmental and sustainability managers, officers, advisors and champions
Duration
2 Day
