Practical Carbon Accounting for Organisations, Unlocking Scope 3 Emissions Reporting
About This Course
Carbon accounting has moved from voluntary best practice to a regulatory obligation for Singapore businesses. Listed companies face mandatory International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) aligned climate disclosures from Financial Year (FY) 2025, and Singapore's carbon tax rises to SGD 45/tonne in 2026. Supply chains increasingly demand verified emission data from partners.
This two-day programme combines two integrated modules:
Module 1 : Practical Carbon Accounting for Organisations & Unlocking Scope 3 Emissions Reporting — a 1.5-day intensive taught in plain language with no prior sustainability knowledge required. Participants build foundational skills in GreenHouse GAS (GHG) accounting (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, ISO 14083 & Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework), construct an organisational emissions inventory, map Scope 3 categories, and identify tools and 90-day next steps for climate disclosure. Developed by CO2 Connect Pte Ltd, ISO 14083 & GLEC certified and Bureau Veritas validated.
Module 2 : AI, Optimization and Decision Analytics for Decarbonization. This outro extends the carbon accounting foundation by exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) prediction models and mathematical optimisation translate emission measurements into operational decisions using an example from the maritime sector, covering fuel consumption modelling Artificial Neural Network (ANN), fleet deployment optimisation, scrubber vs fuel-switching tradeoffs, and green maritime corridors.
Together the programme moves participants from compliance readiness to operational decarbonization.
What You'll Learn
b. Distinguish between GreenHouse GAS (GHG) Protocol Corporate Standard, ISO 14064-1, and ISO 14083 & Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, and identify the appropriate standard for different organisational contexts
c. Define Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions and categorise emission sources across all 15 Scope 3 categories
d. Apply ISO 14064-1 principles to determine GHG inventory boundaries and quantify material emission sources
e. Apply ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework to calculate and report transport-related GHG emissions
f. Conduct a structured Scope 3 mapping exercise and prioritise data collection from vendors and suppliers
g. Describe the purpose of third-party GHG assurance, distinguish validation from verification, and identify accredited verifiers in Singapore
h. Use the CO2X Readiness Assessment Tool to evaluate an organisation's carbon accounting maturity
i. Develop a 90-day action plan to begin an organisation's carbon accounting journey
j. Explain how Artificial Intelligence (AI) prediction models (Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based fuel consumption modelling) and optimisation techniques are applied to maritime decarbonization decisions
