Bitesize Sustainability Webinar Series

Once the resource-intensive work of creating a city emissions inventory is over, the ever more complex task of creating and executing a comprehensive climate plan remains. This webinar hosted by Swedish climate action technology company ClimateView explores reasons for the slow execution of climate action plans in cities and provides solutions for how to transform reporting and planning into progress, faster. From changing how we think about data to the tools that we use, this event offers perspectives on how technology can not only solve the measurement challenge, but also equip cities with the resources they need to focus on the important work of implementation. Speakers: Dorothea Strüber - Customer Success Manager at ClimateView and Orren Shalit - Community Director at ClimateView and Elin Sundqvist - Environmental Strategist at Helsingborg City Council.

She was the first managing director of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, working at the GRI and WBCSD, and is on the board of Carbon Tracker.

To ensure that the third-party verification activities undertaken by companies are broadly comparable, CDP requires verification to be completed in accordance with recognised verification standards. In this webinar, gold CDP-accredited solution provider, Greenstone outlines 5 key software tools for preparing your CDP data for verification.

We face an enormous challenge in our fight against climate change: only 9% of companies measure emissions comprehensively and as few as 11% reduced emissions in the past year in line with targets. You cannot reduce what you cannot measure. Now, with the power of AI, we can precisely measure, decide and reduce emissions. Learn how you can leverage AI to accelerate your net-zero journey, including real-life examples from BCG’s CO2 AI solution. Speakers: Lukasz Bolikowski - Associate Director, Data Science, CO2 AI Data Science Leader, NAMR and Mike Lyons - Managing Director and Partner, CO2 AI Leader, NAMR.

ESG data, including the information reported in a CDP response, has become a critical source of decision-useful information for a company’s stakeholders, especially investors. Collecting this ESG data can be challenging because of the number of involved data owners, material topics, frameworks and standards, and the lack of established processes and controls to manage performance and related disclosures. During this session, we will explore ways companies are starting to enable this process and control with technology as they look toward the potential for future or more robust assurance of ESG data and disclosure.

Are you wondering how software can solve data challenges in carbon reporting? In this session, Planetly will delve into the common challenges that companies face with carbon data collection and monitoring, exploring ways that advanced carbon management software can help to overcome these challenges as well providing the opportunity for enhanced carbon analysis and reporting. We will look at issues around scope 3 data completeness, data importing, tackling data gaps, monitoring data collection and using additional metrics for better analytics. Speaker: Monica Niermann - Carbon Intelligence Strategy Lead at Planetly by OneTrust.

In this webinar, Benchmark ESG will explore how digital platforms can be used to manage the complexity and uncertainty of extended value chains. As companies increasingly turn attention and resources to measuring Scope 3 emissions and other supply chain impacts, solutions are needed to source reliable data, and gain insight into areas of uncertainty and supplier risk. Progressive companies will look for opportunities to engage suppliers for sustainability information and promote sustainable performance and best practices. Speaker: Donavan Hornsby - Chief Market Strategy Officer.

Creative carbon accounting has long been a concern of consumers, customers and investors alike. Carbon data and emissions calculations that lack accuracy or don't thoroughly cover all scopes and categories of the GHG protocol can lead to problems for every part of the company: • Accusations of greenwashing • Questions over due diligence with investors • Costly decision-making • Operational and supply chain risk blindspots But underpinning it all is distrust in the company's commitment and ability to take ambitious climate action. So what is complete carbon accounting? Join Mauro Cozzi (CEO) and Caroline Bartlett (Head of Carbon Accounting) at Emitwise to find out. Speakers: Mauro Cozzi- CEO and Co-Founder of Emitwise and Caroline Bartlett- Head of Carbon Accounting at Emitwise

In this webinar, Edison Energy will explore how to move from strategy setting and goal-mapping into successful implementation and execution.

Speaker: Annabelle Stamm - Director of Sustainability Strategy at Edison Energy.

Carbon credits (or “offsets”) have an important dual role to play in the battle against climate change. Corporates, propelled by fresh commitments to carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions, need to source credits on the voluntary market. In the short term, voluntary carbon credits from projects focused on emissions avoidance/reduction can help accelerate the transition to a decarbonized global economy, e.g. by driving investment into renewable energy, energy efficiency, and natural capital. In the medium to long term, they could play an important role in scaling up carbon dioxide removals (or negative emissions) needed to neutralize residual emissions that cannot be further reduced. However, while the voluntary carbon credit market is currently experiencing significant momentum, it is still relatively small. This session is aimed at providing an insight to the participants on how governments, companies or individuals should unlock the opportunity of carbon credits to fight climate change. Speaker: Mr Sachhin Patra - Senior Manager Climate change.
