Are you responsible for tracking and managing carbon emissions in a commercial organization? Do you want to better understand how to measure and report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in Ontario’s commercial sector? Join us for this training session designed for sustainability professionals, energy managers, and facilities teams working across retail, offices, healthcare, hospitality, warehousing, education, and other commercial operations.

This intermediate-level session will walk through the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol’s framework for quantifying emissions and provide step-by-step guidance for calculating, managing, and improving your organization’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventories.
