Understanding Scope 3 Emissions

The scope 3 emissions training course provided by Glomacs introduces a comprehensive understanding for scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur in a company's value chain, including both upstream and downstream activities. These emissions are a result of the company's business activities but occur outside of its operational control. Scope 3 emissions can include emissions from suppliers, transportation, use of products by customers, and disposal of products at the end of their useful life.

Scope 3 emissions are often the largest source of emissions for many companies and can be challenging to measure and manage due to their complexity and the involvement of external stakeholders. However, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing their Scope 3 emissions as part of their climate change mitigation strategies, as they represent a significant opportunity to reduce their overall carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The scope 3 emissions training course will highlight:

• The meaning of scope 3 emissions.
• Understanding scope 3 emissions.
• Reduction strategies for Scope 3 emissions.
• The different challenges and limitations of scope 3 emissions.
• Case studies and practices

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

• Understanding the significance of Scope 3 emissions.
• Identifying Scope 3 emissions sources and hotspots
• Developing strategies to reduce Scope 3 emissions
• Implementing and monitoring Scope 3 emissions reduction initiatives
• Integrating Scope 3 emissions into corporate sustainability strategies

Different learning techniques will be used during the training course, starting from PowerPoint presentations, interactive practical exercises, workshops, focused group discussions, related videos, and business case studies.

Attending a training course on Scope 3 emissions can provide companies with the knowledge and tools they need to address this critical aspect of sustainability and can have several organizational impacts, including:

• Improved sustainability performance by understanding how Scope 3 emissions reduction can decrease organization carbon footprint and improve sustainability performance.
• Cost savings through optimizing and identifying inefficiencies in the supply chain.
• Enhanced reputation and increasing customer loyalty through demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
• Improving competitive advantage over those that do not, as sustainability is becoming increasingly important to consumers, investors, and other stakeholders.
• Addressing Scope 3 emissions may be necessary to comply with regulatory requirements, such as emissions reporting and reduction targets.

The delegates will enhance their understanding of scope 3 emissions, and this will be through the following:

• Acquiring deeper understanding of the environmental and social impacts of the organization's supply chain, as well as the tools and strategies needed to address these impacts.
• Thinking strategically about the challenges and opportunities related to scope 3 emissions.
• Understanding the result of reducing scope 3 emissions on the organization performance.
• Applying techniques to include scope 3 emissions reduction actions in the decision-making process.
• Implementing analytical tools to improve their understanding of scope 3 emissions on the environment and society

Understating scope 3 emissions training course is necessary for everyone engaged in activities and operations that has direct and/or indirect impacts on environment and society, especially:

• Sustainability team members who are responsible for developing and implementing sustainability strategies within the organization.
• Health, safety and environmental engineers and specialists who are responsible for managing environmental risks and opportunities within the organizations, including emissions reduction initiatives.
