Module 1: The Strategic Imperative – Why Decarbonisation Is a Business Priority
Module 1 establishes why decarbonisation has become a strategic business imperative. Participants explore how climate change is reshaping the business landscape through physical, transition, and reputational risks, while simultaneously creating new opportunities for growth, innovation, and competitive advantage. The module introduces key concepts such as carbon pricing, the risk–opportunity continuum, and the TCFD framework, helping participants understand how climate risk translates into financial and strategic considerations at board and executive level.By the end of this module, participants will be able to: - Explain why decarbonisation is essential for risk management, resilience, and competitiveness - Distinguish between physical, transition, and reputational climate risks - Describe how carbon pricing and regulation influence business strategy - Articulate the business case for early decarbonisation using real‑world examples

Module 2: Mapping Your Footprint – Identifying Emission Hotspots
Focus Module 2 moves from strategy to diagnosis. Participants learn how to identify where emissions and resource inefficiencies are concentrated across their organisation’s operations and value chain. Using hotspot analysis, systems thinking, and life‑cycle assessment principles, the module shows how a relatively small number of activities often account for the majority of emissions—and how focusing on these hotspots enables faster, more cost‑effective decarbonisation. By the end of this module, participants will be able to: - Categorise organisational emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3 using the GHG Protocol - Apply hotspot analysis to identify high‑impact emission sources - Use systems thinking to uncover hidden inefficiencies and interdependencies - Identify a circular economy opportunity arising from a resource inefficiency

Module 3: From Analysis to Action – Pathways to Business Value
Focus Module 3 focuses on turning insight into action. Participants explore proven decarbonisation pathways and learn how to prioritise initiatives that deliver both emissions reductions and business value. The module introduces practical decision‑making tools—including the Avoid–Reduce–Replace framework, marginal abatement cost curves, and cost‑impact matrices alongside emerging technologies, circular economy models, and financing mechanisms that enable implementation at scale. By the end of this module, participants will be able to: Compare decarbonisation pathways using the Avoid–Reduce–Replace framework, Prioritise initiatives based on impact, feasibility, and cost‑effectiveness, Explain how circular economy strategies create new value streams, Identify enabling technologies and financing options to support implementation

Module 4: Reporting for Impact – Communicating Progress and Value
Focus Module 4 completes the journey by focusing on communication and credibility. Participants learn how to translate technical decarbonisation projects into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with investors, regulators, customers, and employees. The module covers major ESG and climate reporting frameworks, practical KPI dashboards, and storytelling techniques that link emissions data directly to business value and strategic outcomes. By the end of this module, participants will be able to: - Select appropriate ESG and climate reporting frameworks (e.g. TCFD, GRI, CDP) - Design a pilot initiative aligned with a chosen reporting framework - Develop meaningful KPIs and dashboards that link emissions to business performance - Construct a concise stakeholder communication brief that builds trust and credibility

Decarbonisation in Practice: From Risk to Business Value

This module establishes the undeniable business case for decarbonisation. You will learn to quantify climate-related risks and identify the strategic opportunities from cost savings to competitive advantage that arise from decisive action.

  • Learning Outcomes: Upon completion, you will be able to:
    1. Analyse climate-related risks (physical, transition, reputational) using the TCFD framework.
    2. Quantify the financial impact of decarbonisation using carbon pricing and risk-opportunity analysis.
    3. Articulate the business value of early action in terms of resilience, cost, and brand.
