Starting in early summer, öbu – the association for sustainable business – offers a multi-part course on the core elements of climate management. It enables companies to meet regulatory requirements, identify and strategically manage company-specific climate risks, and strengthen their competitiveness through credible, science-based climate targets.
Integrated climate management is becoming increasingly important in a business context and is no longer a “nice-to-have,” but a strategically relevant topic – including for SMEs.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE COURSE
The course consists of four modules. Each module begins with a webinar (90 minutes) covering key fundamentals, followed by an in-person workshop (6–8 hours) where the content is applied to real company cases. Optional consultation sessions are also available to address and deepen individual questions.
By participating in the course, you will be able to:
- prepare a carbon footprint in line with GHG Protocol and ESRS requirements,
- develop a CO₂ reduction pathway with science-based targets (e.g. via SBTi),
- make robust strategic decisions based on climate scenario and resilience analyses,
- integrate these elements into a comprehensive climate strategy (including governance, KPIs, and reporting).
WHY YOU SHOULD REGISTER NOW
The course delivers not only theoretical knowledge but also practical, company-specific capabilities.
At the end of each module, you will take away concrete deliverables that can be directly applied within your organization.
You will learn how to navigate the complex landscape of standards and methodologies, access relevant data, and use it effectively for reporting and sustainability communication.
We will guide you through the key considerations for preparing a carbon footprint in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and jointly develop a Scope 3 materiality analysis for your company.
We present a pragmatic approach to identifying climate-related risks and opportunities and translating the results into an integrated climate strategy.
In times of limited budgets and resources, the course provides substantial support for building comprehensive climate management capabilities and can often replace costly consulting services.
