Scope 3 Training Academy

For most companies, Scope 3 emissions represent the greatest contribution to their emissions profiles: as much as 90% of a company’s total GHG emissions. Conquering Scope 3 emissions will take a coordinated effort, but you don’t have to do it alone. SSC’s Conquering Carbon: Scope 3 Training Academy is designed to be a comprehensive guide for understanding, measuring, and reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

“The seminar was a great opportunity to broaden the education of myself and my co-workers on environmental sustainability strategy. The workbook is a nice reference and a good blueprint for your sustainability program.”

Michael Waslin, Merck

Training and educating suppliers has become imperative as one of the top Scope 3 categories for most companies is Purchased Goods and Services.
