Overview
About this workshop.
Carbon numbers are increasingly read by people who did not produce them: verifiers, auditors, customers, regulators and investors. That changes what a GHG inventory has to be. Arriving at a total is no longer enough. The organisation has to show the boundary it used, the activity data behind each figure, the emission factor applied and the record that supports it.
This two-day workshop follows a footprint from data collection through to disclosure. It covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculation, the 15 Scope 3 categories with mapping, screening and prioritisation, activity-based and spend-based methodologies, and the data ownership, controls and evidence that make an inventory reviewable. It closes with IFRS S2 GHG disclosure requirements, NSRF assurance expectations, ISO 14064-3 and ISSA 5000, and a mock GHG audit.
Participants leave able to define boundaries, calculate emissions using suitable data and factors, organise records so every number can be traced back to source, and anticipate what a verifier will ask for. Preparing an organisation's own inventory, and the independent verification of it, are separate engagements: this is the capability that comes first.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. Scout360 Sdn Bhd is an HRD Corp registered training provider and the programme is led by an HRD Corp accredited trainer, so employers registered with HRD Corp can claim it against their levy. Tell us when you enquire that you intend to claim: the grant application has to be submitted and approved before the programme begins, so we need to know in advance in order to prepare and submit it for you.
Sustainability, HSE, engineering, facilities, procurement and finance staff who collect, calculate or consolidate emissions data, and the managers who sign those numbers off. It also suits teams preparing for a first GHG verification or responding to customer carbon requests.
Yes. Participants define boundaries, calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, map a value chain, work through activity-based and spend-based Scope 3 methods and take part in a mock GHG audit. A general sense of your own utility, fuel and procurement records makes the exercises more useful, though no organisational data is required.
Three of the eight sessions. Scope 3 is treated as its own body of work: understanding the value chain and the 15 categories, mapping and screening sources to decide what is relevant, and then choosing between activity-based and spend-based calculation for the categories that matter.
No. The workshop prepares an organisation to be verified. It explains NSRF assurance requirements, ISO 14064-3 and ISSA 5000, assurance levels and materiality, and closes with a mock audit so participants see the questions a verifier asks. Independent verification is a separate engagement carried out by an accredited verification body, and Scout360 does not verify an inventory it has prepared.
Dates and venues are confirmed for each intake. Tell us roughly how many participants you expect and we will confirm the next available session, or arrange an in-house run for your organisation alone. In-house delivery follows the same programme and can be adapted to your sector, reporting maturity and participant responsibilities.
