Webinar: How to measure your organisation's carbon footprint
Presented by: Anthony Day

And why should you bother? A large organisation which comes within the scope of the Carbon Reduction Commitment is going to have to measure its carbon footprint every year, by law, so there's no escape there. What of everyone else?

If we are to reach the government's target of an 80% reduction by 2050, government regulations must get stricter and must apply to more and more organisations. Measuring your carbon footprint is the first step to reducing your carbon footprint. It's a first step to being ready for carbon taxes and rocketing energy prices. If we are to meet consumer expectations we need to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Measuring your carbon footprint is a first step towards green credibility.

There are many different approaches to measuring an organisation's carbon footprint, making it difficult to compare like with like. In this session we will look at specific measures including the Carbon Trust Standard, the Carbon Reduction Label and DEFRA's draft guidance on how to measure and report your greenhouse gas emissions. We will look at the difference between Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, how to measure them and how to interpret them. We will consider the systems and procedures needed to assure the accuracy of carbon footprinting within an organisation, to ensure that comparisons are consistent from year to year and to provide a robust audit trail.

As with all our webinars, questions and ideas are welcome in advance or during the session.
