ISO 14064 GHG Awareness

Empower your team to understand, measure, and reduce your organisation's greenhouse gas emissions — one everyday action at a time.

Climate accountability is no longer optional. Clients, regulators, and investors increasingly expect organisations to measure and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions credibly and transparently. This engaging online course demystifies GHG concepts and shows your people — particularly administrative and office-based staff — exactly how their daily work shapes your organisation's environmental performance.

Grounded in the internationally recognised ISO 14064 framework, the course translates complex climate science into practical, role-relevant action. Learners finish equipped not just to understand emissions, but to actively support accurate reporting and continual improvement in their own workplace.

Who it's for

Administrative, office-based, and support staff who handle the records, bookings, procurement, and data that underpin a credible GHG inventory — plus anyone in the organisation who wants a clear, practical grounding in greenhouse gas awareness. No technical or environmental background required.

What learners will be able to do

By the end of the course, learners will be able to:

• Explain what greenhouse gases are, how the greenhouse effect works, and why GHG management matters
• Identify the seven greenhouse gases commonly reported under ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol
• Understand the purpose and three-part structure of ISO 14064
• Classify emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3 and recognise office-based examples of each
• Spot the main sources of GHG emissions in an office environment
• Keep accurate, complete records that support reliable GHG inventories and verification
• Apply practical, measurable actions to reduce emissions in their daily work
• Champion continual improvement and a culture of sustainability in their team

How learners engage

The course is built for retention, not just completion. Each lesson combines clear explanations with interactive flashcards, expandable real-world scenarios, myth-busting "common misconception" segments, and knowledge checks that reinforce learning as learners progress. Practical, office-relevant examples throughout keep the content immediately applicable to everyday work.

Why it matters for your organisation

Accurate GHG reporting depends on the people who collect and maintain the underlying data. By building awareness and capability across your administrative and support teams, this course helps your organisation improve data quality, prepare for verification, reduce costs through smarter resource use, and demonstrate genuine environmental responsibility to clients and stakeholders.
