Foundational level
This pathway delves into the fundamental concepts of sustainability that are actively transforming the corporate world. It defines corporate sustainability and explores its increasing importance. You will also learn about the Paris Agreement, a legally-binding global treaty aiming to limit global warming, and the role of the IPCC and COP in tracking climate data and guiding global efforts. Furthermore, the pathway clarifies key measurement terminologies such as 'net zero' and 'carbon footprints', including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. It also differentiates 'carbon neutrality' from 'net zero' and introduces 'science-based targets' as a crucial method for businesses to align with climate goals.
