GHG & Carbon Accounting Training (ISO 14064)

Learn to build a greenhouse gas inventory from the person who verifies them. This technical two-day programme is led by a certified ISO 14064 Lead Verifier and Validator, and takes you from boundary setting through Scope 1, 2 and 3 quantification to a documented inventory that is ready for independent assurance. Aligned to ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol.

Most carbon accounting courses teach you the standard. This one also teaches you what the verifier does with it: the evidence they ask for, the boundary decisions they challenge, and the findings that come up again and again.

Modules

01

GHG Fundamentals & Standards (Day 1)

The greenhouse gases and global warming potential, and how the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 frame corporate carbon accounting. Includes why this matters now for companies facing Scope 1, 2 and 3 disclosure expectations.

02

Organisational & Operational Boundaries (Day 1)

Setting boundaries, control approaches versus equity share, base year setting, and how consolidation works across subsidiaries and operations. Boundary mistakes are the most expensive kind to correct later, which is why verifiers look here first.

03

Scope 1: Direct Emissions Quantification (Day 1)

Stationary combustion, mobile combustion, fugitive and process emissions. Activity data, emission factor selection and calculation methods, worked through a full quantification exercise using participant or sample company data.

04

Scope 2: Purchased Energy Quantification (Day 1)

Location-based versus market-based calculation methods for purchased electricity and energy, with a worked exercise comparing both approaches on the same data set so you can see where the two diverge.

05

Scope 3: Categories & Screening (Day 2)

Walking all 15 Scope 3 categories, then a materiality screening exercise to identify which categories actually matter for your business instead of attempting all of them.

06

Scope 3: Estimation Methods (Day 2)

Spend-based, average-data and supplier-specific estimation methods, and when each is defensible. Worked exercise estimating two to three priority categories identified in the screening session.

07

Building the GHG Inventory (Day 2)

Data collection and management, quality management, uncertainty assessment, and consolidating Scope 1, 2 and 3 into a single organisational inventory.

08

Documenting the GHG Inventory Report (Day 2)

Structuring a defensible inventory report and producing disclosure-ready documentation aligned to the ISO 14064-1 reporting requirements.

09

Verification Readiness (Day 2)

What an ISO 14064-3 verification involves, the evidence trails a verifier expects, the findings that come up most often, and a pre-verification readiness checklist you take away. Taught from the verifier's side of the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

A certified ISO 14064 Lead Verifier and Validator. That matters because verification is where most GHG inventories run into trouble. Learning the standard from someone who audits inventories against it means you hear what a verifier actually checks, not only what the standard says.

Yes. The training follows ISO 14064-1 for quantification and reporting, references the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard throughout, and covers ISO 14064-3 from the verification readiness side.

Because participants do the calculations themselves. Scope 3 screening across 15 categories, the inventory build and verification readiness cannot be covered properly alongside Scope 1 and 2 in a single day without dropping the hands-on work, which is the part that makes the training useful. Two days is also the standard length for practitioner level GHG accounting programmes in Malaysia. If you want a shorter introduction first, we run a one-day GHG & Carbon Accounting Fundamentals covering Scope 1 and 2 only.

Yes, for in-house runs. If you send your activity data ahead of the session, the exercises on day one and the inventory build on day two can use your own figures instead of generic worked examples. Teams often leave with a first draft of their own inventory rather than a set of notes. This works best with smaller groups.

Reporting tells you what to disclose and in what format. Carbon accounting produces the number you disclose. This course covers how the emissions figure is calculated, documented and verified. Sustainability Reporting (GRI & Bursa) covers where that figure goes and what else belongs alongside it. Many organisations run both, measurement first. If you are a Bursa-listed issuer reporting under the National Sustainability Reporting Framework, IFRS S1 & S2 Practical Implementation covers what the ISSB standards require of that figure, and the Scope 3 Supplier Data Collection Programme covers getting the value chain data behind it.

Yes. GHG & Carbon Accounting (ISO 14064) is HRD Corp SBL-Khas claimable for Malaysian employers registered with HRD Corp.

A technical or operational role helps, since the course involves calculations and data, but the fundamentals are taught from the ground up.
