ISEP Certified Carbon Footprinting and Reporting
This engaging 1-day Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professional (ISEP) certified course provides a practical, hands-on approach to carbon footprinting and reporting. It delves into key frameworks, standards, and step-by-step methodologies for accurate emissions quantification.
Through interactive workshops, including a comprehensive Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprinting exercise, participants will develop essential skills to build robust internal reporting systems, prepare for external assurance, and effectively communicate carbon data to stakeholders.
Certification
Includes an end-of-course assessment and an I Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professional (ISEP) Certified dual-branded certificate upon completion.

Delivery Format
This course is delivered by a practicing and experienced consultants, bringing real-world insight and practical relevance to the training. The sessions are highly interactive, with opportunities for collaboration through breakout rooms where delegates can share experiences, challenges, and successes with peers. An interactive digital workbook supports the learning throughout and is available for delegates to download and keep for ongoing reference.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course delegates will:
- Understand the essential mechanisms of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and related risks and opportunities.
- Explain global climate frameworks, UK policy impacts, and the role of stakeholder and supply chain engagement in the context of carbon accounting.
- Understand the compliance requirements of ESOS, SECR & PPN 06/21.
- Understand how to develop a GHG accounting system and learn skills for continual improvement for more accurate reporting.
- Understand the steps involved in calculating a carbon footprint.
- Identify effective methods for stakeholder communication, taking account of reporting frameworks and standard.

Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for anyone working in environmental or sustainability roles who needs to understand carbon footprinting and carbon management at an intermediate level. It supports those responsible for measuring and managing organisational emissions, whether you’re building your skills, refining your current approach, or seeking to ensure best practice. The course focuses on how to calculate carbon footprints, interpret the results, and communicate them effectively to support sustainability and net zero goals.
Your Training Pathway
To build on foundational carbon footprinting skills, delegates can progress to our ISEP Certified Pathways to Net Zero course, focusing on strategic reduction planning and sustainable pathways to achieve Net Zero.
