Introduction to Net Zero Concepts

Understanding climate science and global warming, the Paris Agreement and 1.5°C pathway, defining net zero vs carbon neutrality, and the urgency of corporate climate action. Exploring net zero commitments from leading organisations.

2

Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

Overview of SBTi framework and methodologies, understanding near-term and long-term targets, sector-specific guidance and target validation processes, and the Corporate Net-Zero Standard requirements.

3

Emission Reduction Strategies

Identifying emission hotspots across operations and value chains, developing emission reduction roadmaps, prioritising high-impact decarbonisation initiatives, and understanding technology solutions for emissions reduction including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and electrification.

4

Carbon Offsetting & Removals

Understanding the role of offsetting in net zero strategies, differentiating between carbon avoidance and carbon removal projects, evaluating carbon credit quality and integrity, and understanding the mitigation hierarchy (reduce, avoid, remove).

5

Net Zero Roadmap Development

Developing a net zero roadmap and timeline, setting interim milestones and targets, engaging stakeholders in net zero strategy, reporting and communicating net zero commitments, and understanding regulatory landscape including mandatory climate disclosures.

Assessment & Certification
