Decarbonization Strategy Training Course
Achieve Your Business Goals and Emission Targets with a Suitable Strategy
In the context of climate change and increasing pressure from carbon reduction regulations (such as the EU Green Deal and the EU Climate Law) and stakeholders , a robust decarbonization strategy is essential for companies to reduce their carbon footprint. It will help them meet sustainability reporting requirements, contribute to climate change mitigation, align with a low carbon economy and enhance their reputation. By proactively developing and implementing a decarbonization strategy, companies not only comply with sustainability reporting standards but also play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are crucial for mitigating the ongoing climate change.
Our training course delves into the various elements of a decarbonization strategy and maps out the corresponding decarbonization journey of a company to support business goals and reduction targets. It guides participants through the key steps of a decarbonization strategy, incorporating practical exercises and exploring potential tools and methods.
EU Green Deal
The European Green Deal is a comprehensive plan initiated by the European Commission to make the EU's economy sustainable by turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities across all policy areas. The goal of the Green Deal is to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. This initiative focuses on a wide range of policy areas, including clean energy, sustainable industry, building and renovating, sustainable mobility, biodiversity and a zero-pollution ambition. As key element within the European Green Deal framework, the EU Climate Law establishes the legal foundation for Europe’s goal to become climate-neutral by 2050.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that aims to enhance and standardize the sustainability reporting requirements for organizations. It expands on the previous Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) by broadening the scope of companies required to report through a staggered approach, increasing the detail and rigor of the reports and requiring assurance on the reported information. The CSRD mandates that organizations disclose information on their environmental impact, social practices and governance matters to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of their sustainability performance. This initiative is part of the EU's broader strategy to integrate sustainable finance into its financial system and increase transparency in corporate behavior.
