Carbon Accounting and Climate (AASB S2) Masterclasses for the automotive industry


Published: 

Automotive businesses are under increasing pressure to understand and manage their carbon footprint.

These two virtual half-day masterclasses, led by Aletta Boshoff, are designed to help automotive organisations understand their carbon data and build the governance, strategy and risk narratives needed to meet evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations with confidence.

Workshop 1: Carbon Accounting Masterclass: Automotive industry

MONDAY, 25 MAY, 9.00AM – 1.00PM (AEST)

Understanding your organisation’s carbon footprint is the first step in responding to growing regulatory requirements, customer expectations and transition‑planning pressures across the automotive sector.

This masterclass focuses exclusively on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
