Recently, the Senate approved the Bill (PL) that regulates the carbon credit market in Brazil, compensating companies that reduce emissions and penalizing the most polluting ones. To help with adapting to the proposal and creating a decarbonization strategy, Zaya , a greentech company that develops and simplifies the calculation of companies' environmental impact, launched the masterclass "Greenhouse Gas Inventory". Registration is now open and the course will be available online on December 29th.
Until this date, managers and professionals in the field of sustainability can register for free, as the company also aims to promote access to education on the subject and demonstrate the intuitive usability of its software in the class. The idea is to show participants how to create inventories of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, the first step in establishing a low-carbon economy. With this mapping, it is possible to identify where the largest polluting sources are and, consequently, the sectors that should be prioritized to reduce environmental impacts.
This course is produced by Ricardo Dinato and Jéssica Campanha, specialists in the GHG Protocol, an internationally recognized standard for accounting for and reporting GHG emissions. This set of guidelines is one of the leading global references for producing sustainability reports in companies, and has even been adapted to the national corporate context in the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program.
“This masterclass was carefully constructed with a team of experts to teach companies how to be more sustainable in business,” says Isabela Basso, co-founder of Zaya. “GHG inventories are fundamental tools for defining clear carbon neutrality strategies, which contributes to process optimization, resource savings, alignment with environmental certifications, and highlighting commitment to the future of the planet to clients and investors,” she adds.
Course Structure:
Lasting over two hours, the course is divided into two modules. The first consists of five lessons, which offer an overview of what an inventory is, its formats within companies, and its importance in the corporate sector. This stage teaches, for example, how to distinguish between Scopes 1 (direct emissions from operations), 2 (indirect emissions that occur through the company's own electricity use), and 3 (indirect emissions from operations).
The second section offers a more practical approach, with a step-by-step guide on how to prepare the document. This part includes explanatory videos on the key concepts of CO2 quantification and its scope in the daily operations of organizations, as well as what each of the categories are and where to find data for accounting for emissions.
