From the University of Arkansas, Sam M. Walton College of Business:
Executive Education is excited to present two new sustainability courses in November. These courses are offered in partnership with the University of Arkansas Applied Sustainability Center.
Corporate Greenhouse Gas Inventory
This course is available in-person and online.
Stakeholders are beginning to expect companies to report their corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to publicly set reduction goals. This 90-minute course will give participants the knowledge and tools needed to compile their GHG inventory in accordance with generally accepted protocols and to publish information to the Carbon Disclosure Project. Participants will learn the basics of greenhouse-gas science, understand the GHG Protocol and Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, and review the Carbon Disclosure Project and other major sustainability reporting outlets. Students will also be trained on simple tools to help them collect data, calculate their footprint, and set achievable reduction targets.
Date and Time: November 12, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Cost: $145
This course is limited to 60 in-person participants.
Life Cycle Assessment for Managers and Executives
This course is available in-person only.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool for understanding the impacts of a product or service across its entire life, from the extraction of a raw material to use and disposal. As LCA and product sustainability reporting become more mainstream, managers and executives across functional areas need to understand LCA so they can incorporate it in their decision making processes. This one-day course gives participants the ability to do just that. Participants will review LCA theory and work through LCA case studies to gain experience in interpreting and making decisions based on product sustainability information.
Date and Time: November 17, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Cost: $695
Both of these courses will be held at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development. GHG Inventory will be held online as well.
