Carbon Quantification and Footprinting Training Course

ISO 14064-1:2018 – Specification with Guidance for Carbon Quantification

Our CSA-certified carbon quantification and carbon footprinting training course provides practical, expert guidance for Government bodies, NGOs, and business organisations on how to measure, quantify, and manage their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions). The programme ensures full alignment with ISO 14064-1, global carbon accounting standards, and recognised best practice for organisational carbon footprint reporting.

You will learn how greenhouse gas emissions are calculated, how carbon data supports sustainability strategies, and how carbon footprint quantification fits within wider GHG accounting frameworks across both voluntary and compliance-driven schemes.
