CO₂ Reduction Projects
with certification

Learn how to contribute to CO₂ reduction and sustainability through your projects

Introduction to CO₂ Reduction Projects

More than 30% of the western economy is tied up in projects. In other words, we can make a big difference by incorporating CO₂ reduction into our projects.

Accordingly, we have further developed our project approaches on sustainability, emissions reduction, and agile project management into our hands-on course on CO₂ Reduction Projects with certification.

You will learn how to operationally execute sustainability projects with a dedicated focus on emissions reduction, in respect to both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction and compensation, and on how to adapt the method from project to project. The approach is designed for both teams that are geographically distributed and/or work at the same location.
