Introduction to GHG Emissions
Overview
This eSeminar is a recorded session of the “Introduction to GHG Emissions” webinar held on 16 August 2024.
It is Module 5 of the Sustainability Excellence for Talent Certification Programme (SET), which aims to provide learners with comprehensive knowledge on topics such as sustainability reporting frameworks, ESG ratings, climate risks, and net zero.
Measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is critical for companies to address climate change, as it is the primary driver of global warming. Hence understanding GHG emissions allows companies to identify their largest emission sources and to implement strategies in reducing their carbon footprint. This seminar provides an introduction to Scope 1,2,3 emissions, as well as a step-by-step overview of measuring GHG emissions.
