Applying the GHG Protocol in Practice

Greenhouse gas accounting is now a core requirement for organisations, requiring practical skills to measure, calculate, and report emissions consistently and credibly.

Why the GHG Protocol Matters

The GHG Protocol is the most widely used standard for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, and it underpins many other reporting frameworks and requirements.

Investors, regulators, and other stakeholders increasingly expect organisations to calculate emissions accurately, document their methodology clearly, and set targets that hold up to scrutiny.

Key drivers include:

ā—† Growing reliance on the GHG Protocol across other reporting standards and frameworks

ā—† Increasing scrutiny of how emissions are calculated and documented

ā—† Rising expectations for credible, science-based targets

GHG Protocol Corporate Standard Masterclass Series

The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard Masterclass Series provides practical, expert-led training to help professionals measure, calculate, document, and communicate greenhouse gas emissions using the GHG Protocol.

It focuses on applied learning, combining practical examples and case study analysis with downloadable resources and templates to support your own emissions reporting.

You will learn how to:

ā—† Apply the core principles and boundaries of the GHG Protocol

ā—† Calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions using recognised methods

ā—† Document emissions data and methodology to a credible standard

ā—† Set and communicate GHG reduction targets, including under the Science Based Targets initiative
