WEBINAR 1: April 9, 1pm CET
Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Strategies
(View the recording on the TfS Academy via the registration page)
Explore the critical importance of corporate emission reduction programmes.
Understand why having a strategy in place is crucial for your company, and delve into comprehensive approaches covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions and upstream and downstream Scope 3 emissions.
During this webinar, you will gain practical tools to implement emissions reductions strategies including who to involve at your company, how to drive the plan forward, the important role of change management, and how to message your actions with external stakeholders. You’ll also learn how to integrate emission reduction strategies into your corporate governance and create multi-year abatement plans.
WEBINAR 2: May 7, 1pm CET
Energy Efficiency and Process Optimisation
Unlock the potential for energy efficiency and process optimisation. Understand how to address Scope 1 and 2 emissions by identifying energy-consuming equipment and direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from your production processes.
See examples of projects and measures that reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, including their timing, impact, and cost, and learn about financing mechanisms to ease upfront implementation costs.

WEBINAR 3: June 4, 1pm CET
Energy Source Transition
Unlock the potential for a greener energy portfolio. Learn how to identify opportunities to replace high-emission fuels (e.g., coal or diesel) with low greenhouse gas fuels or electricity, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
You will gain insights into technologies like heat integration, carbon capture, storage, and utilisation, as well as clean hydrogen, ammonia, and advanced biofuels to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
You will also gain insights into key considerations for Power Purchase Agreements.
WEBINAR 4: September 10, 1pm CET
Alternative Feedstocks and Circular Economy
Embrace circularity and understand alternative feedstocks. Learn about alternative feedstocks like biomass, waste, and CO2, and their role in reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Gain insight into the availability of these feedstocks and understand how to integrate them into your greenhouse gas reduction strategies.
WEBINAR 5: October 8, 1pm CET
How to Implement Emissions Reduction Strategies
For most companies, supply chain emissions represent over 90% of total emissions. Put another way, a company’s supply chain produces 11 times more emissions than its operations. Unlike Scope 1&2, reducing Scope 3 emissions requires collaboration with suppliers.
During this webinar, we will discuss how to engage your supply chain to reduce emissions. You will learn how to select suppliers to engage, how to motivate them to act, and how to measure their progress.
