Toward a Low-Carbon Economy: The Clim’Foot Project Approach …

• Nonenergy related sources, where direct emissions can be calculated (e.g. from
livestock or use of fertilizer) or directly reported. Such category addresses also
gases not covered by the Kyoto protocol
• Inputs, where impacts of materials and products consumption in the organization
operations are addressed (including water)
• Packaging, which accounts for emissions due to the production of packaging
materials (e.g., used for the packaging of the finished products)
• Transport of people, where transport activities are commuting, business travels
and external person travels (e.g. visitors)
• Transport of goods, which accounts for emissions due to upstream transport
(purchasing), internal transport and downstream transport (selling, distribution)
• Waste, which accounts for emissions from the disposal/treatment of waste
produced by the organization, during its production/service activity
• Capital goods, where emissions due to buildings and infrastructure (even IT) can
be estimated, and the known or proper depreciation period is considered, if ISO
standard 14064 is applied
• Use stages, which concerns emissions due to the use of products by
consumers/final users
• End-of-life, which addresses emissions due to the disposal/final treatment of
products, after their use.
The tool can be downloaded from the project website after registration and does
not require high level of expertise even if, based on the experience of the voluntary
program, the participation to the face to face training course has been judged to
be very important. Several end users suggest developing a short guide with brief
description of main methodology options and key features.
3.1.3 The Training Courses
The target groups of the training courses are trainers and end users. The training of
the trainers has a twofold objective:
• to train trainers on the methodology for calculating and mitigating CFO;
• to learn coaching tips and strategies to be used for training the end users.
The objectives of the training of end users are: i) to increase awareness on the
climate change impact; ii) to teach how to calculate the CFO and iii) to give an
overview on how to plan and implement a carbon management plan.
Different training materials were made available:
• online training, providing a general overview on climate change, the methodology
for the CFO assessment and the calculator use;
• material to prepare technical workshop on CF for organizations, in national
languages;
• dissemination materials, to be used in meetings with stakeholders such as
industrial trade associations or professional orders.
