Turn climate ambition into accountable action. Benchmarking Climate KPIs for Strategy, Accountability, and Transparent Reporting is a practical course for sustainability, finance, and strategy professionals who need to design the right climate metrics, compare performance credibly, and communicate progress with confidence. You will master KPI fundamentals across Scopes 1, 2 (market- and location-based), and 3; select decision-useful metrics tailored to your business model; and align with leading standards and regulations, including GHG Protocol, TCFD, SBTi, ISSB/IFRS S2, and EU CSRD at a high level. Through hands-on exercises and a capstone project, you will build a benchmarking-ready climate performance dashboard that connects data to strategy. Learn how to define robust baselines, set targets and interim milestones, normalize for activity drivers, handle data gaps and restatements, and translate insights into investments and stakeholder narratives. By the end, you will benchmark against peers, quantify progress, and create transparent disclosures that withstand scrutiny from investors, customers, and regulators—while guiding real decarbonization decisions.

            <p>Climate leaders are under intensifying pressure to set credible targets, execute decarbonization strategies, and report outcomes with clarity. This course equips you to benchmark climate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in ways that sharpen strategy, strengthen accountability, and elevate transparent reporting. You will learn how to connect activity, outcome, and impact metrics to your business model; define organizational and operational boundaries across Scopes 1, 2 (market- and location-based), and 3; and evaluate data quality, timeliness, and assurance. From day one, you will see how benchmarking transforms raw metrics into decision-useful insight and how those insights power target-setting, resource allocation, and net‑zero alignment.</p>
<p>The journey begins with foundational concepts and the course roadmap, including expected deliverables and a capstone project: building a climate performance dashboard. You will then design decision‑useful KPIs—choosing between absolute and intensity metrics, balancing leading and lagging indicators, and setting baselines, base years, trajectories, and interim milestones—with sector-specific examples. Next, you will align metrics with the GHG Protocol, TCFD, SBTi (including FLAG where relevant), and evolving regulatory expectations such as ISSB/IFRS S2 and the EU’s CSRD, while considering voluntary programs like CDP. You will practice rigorous benchmarking—defining peer sets, selecting normalization methods, handling data gaps and restatements, and using public disclosures, aggregators, and APIs to compute comparable intensity, reduction, and progress metrics. Finally, you will translate insights into strategy and targets, prioritize interventions across operations and the value chain, and build a stakeholder-ready dashboard that visualizes emissions by scope, intensity trends, progress versus targets, energy mix, and risk metrics. Knowledge checks throughout reinforce learning, and the capstone demonstrates your ability to turn climate data into accountable action and transparent reporting.</p>
