Recent research by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that corporate supply chain Scope 3 emissions are, on average, 26 times greater than Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions combined, yet only 15% of companies have established a supply chain emissions target. With upstream emissions representing an estimated US$335 billion in carbon liability, accurate carbon accounting is no longer a reporting formality, it has become a critical business capability.
This certified program is designed to equip you with the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills that corporate carbon accounting and emissions reporting now demand. You will master core topics such as GHG inventory design, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions calculations, Scope 3 accounting and the strategic implementation of carbon data and MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) systems, gaining not only theoretical insight but the hands-on tools to build, manage and defend comprehensive GHG inventories. You will also learn to apply emission factors, internal controls and assurance ready documentation that measurably strengthen reporting accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Throughout the program, you will explore Scope 3 data quality, estimation methods and supplier engagement, alongside carbon accounting systems, climate disclosure and emissions reduction strategies. Through practical case studies and reporting simulations, you will learn to strengthen carbon data governance, elevate emissions data quality and prepare with confidence for external assurance. You will also develop credible decarbonization strategies and align GHG reporting with CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) E1 and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) S2, alongside CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and other rapidly evolving disclosure requirements.
Upon successfully completing the program and passing the Chartered exam, you will attain the Certified Carbon Accounting & Scope 1,2,3 Emissions Reporting Professional (CCAR™) designation. This globally recognized credentia
l validates your command of carbon accounting, GHG inventory management, emissions reporting and assurance readiness, elevating your professional credibility and positioning you to lead carbon reporting and decarbonization initiatives with authority.

What Can You Expect From This Live Program
Carbon reporting has become a core corporate accountability requirement, yet the reliability of emissions data remains a critical weakness. According to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), companies representing 88% of global market capitalization disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, yet only 14% achieve reasonable assurance for Scope 1, 13% for Scope 2 and just 6% for Scope 3. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, organizations urgently need professionals who can produce accurate, traceable and assurance ready GHG inventories that withstand external challenge.
This certified program equips sustainability and carbon professionals with the technical capabilities and practical frameworks to master corporate carbon accounting and emissions reporting. You will develop a comprehensive command of GHG Protocol principles, organizational boundaries and inventory design that underpin credible corporate reporting. The program then examines Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculation methodologies in depth, enabling you to identify every emission source, select defensible emission factors and quantify direct and purchased energy emissions with precision.
Throughout the program, you will build formidable practical expertise in Scope 3 accounting, data quality and supplier engagement. You will learn how to screen and calculate emissions across all 15 Scope 3 categories, close data gaps and apply appropriate estimation methodologies. The program also examines carbon accounting systems, internal controls and audit ready documentation, equipping you to strengthen data traceability, establish effective MRV workflows and prepare your GHG inventory to withstand external assurance.
Beyond emissions calculations, you will gain the capabilities to align carbon accounting with the climate disclosure and decarbonization requirements now reshaping corporate reporting. You will explore CSRD and ESRS E1, IFRS S2 and CBAM, alongside assurance requirements under ISO 14064. You will also learn to establish science-based targets, evaluate emissions reduction opportunities and translate carbon data into credible business decisions. Through a practical capstone simulation, you will build a complete Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG inventory, identify assurance gaps and prepare reporting outputs from a single emissions dataset.
On successfully completing the program and passing the Chartered exam, you will earn the Certified Carbon Accounting & Scope 1,2,3 Emissions Reporting Professional (CCAR™) designation, demonstrating your proven expertise in carbon accounting, GHG inventory management and emissions reporting. This globally recognized credential establishes you as a trusted carbon accounting and emissions reporting authority, opening new avenues for career advancement while strengthening your credibility and professional reputation.
