The industrial and commercial sectors are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing their full carbon footprint, not just what happens within their walls, but across their entire value chains. Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect upstream and downstream activities such as purchased goods, business travel, and product end-of-life impacts, often represent the largest share of an organization’s climate impact.
To support professionals in developing the competencies needed to take action, CIET is offering a one-day training on scope 3 emissions accounting. This course provides a practical introduction to identifying, estimating, quantifying, and managing Scope 3 emissions in accordance with international standards and best practices.
This interactive training session will help participants understand the significance of Scope 3 emissions in decarbonization strategies, navigate the GHG Protocol’s 15 categories of Scope 3 emissions, and explore real-world examples of Scope 3 data collection and reduction planning. Participants will engage with short case studies and hands-on exercises to support knowledge retention and real-world application. This course supports organizations that are aiming to set science-based targets, develop credible net-zero plans, or respond to investor and regulatory expectations around full value chain emissions.
Please note that this course focuses on Scope 3 concepts and assumes participants already have a basic understanding of Scope 1 and Scope 2 principles. If you are not familiar with these fundamentals, your ability to fully benefit from the training may be limited. In that case, we recommend attending the Carbon Footprint Account: Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions course beforehand.
This course is eligible for 100% funding through SaveEnergyNB's Embodied Carbon Training initiative*. Develop the skills needed to measure, reduce, and manage embodied carbon in building projects at no cost to eligible New Brunswick participants.

The Foundation Level Exam Prep Course was very insightful, well structured and delivered, and the compilation of resources was extremely helpful. This was an exceptional training experience. Money well spent. I am glad I chose CIET for preparing the NRCan Foundation Level Exam..
The online CEM course was very professionally put together. The team instructors were really knowledgeable and engaging, and the exam was administered and very easy to take through proctorU.
CIET provides the BEST example of how program certification information should be provided. Its personal, with dates relevant to me and my timelines, and also communicates future events.
Thanks to the Becoming Carbon Neutral course, I gained a better understanding of how the industry's approach to carbon neutrality is taking significant strides towards standardization, definitions, and requirements. Unfortunately, some requirements are challenging for a small northern jurisdiction like Yukon. But knowing the industry standards was tremendously helpful for figuring out where we are and where we need to be. I was able to identify areas where we already do well, pinpoint gaps, and allocate resources accordingly. The course helped me understand the overall trajectory that our organization should follow to achieve carbon neutrality.
