On Friday, September 27, Competitive Energy Services’ (CES) Sandy Beauregard, Director of Sustainability Services, will participate in a webinar panel discussion from 11:00 a.m. - Noon titled “Scope it Out – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting” hosted by CLIMATEWORK MAINE’s Climate Connection Business Webinars. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting has emerged as an essential activity for sustainability-oriented business and individuals. It's important for both setting realistic goals and tracking progress toward those goals. In Scope it Out – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting, the panel will review Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions) and dive more deeply into Scope 3 emissions, which is by far the most challenging in that they are not produced by the company itself nor from assets owned or controlled by them, but instead are released up and down its value chain. The panel experts will cover the essentials of the accounting process and talk about various tools and services that are available for businesses and individuals. The Scope it Out – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting panel includes: 💡 Sandy Beauregard, Director of Sustainability Services, Competitive Energy Services 💡 @Amber Bieg, Sustainability Consultant, Micron Corporation (INVITED) 💡 Ian Burnes, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Efficiency Maine Trust (TENTATIVE) 💡 John Gardner, Principal, Gardner Energy Strategies, LLC (MODERATOR) 💡 Luke Truman,  Sustainability Coordinator, Craft Beverage Sector, New England Environmental Finance Center To Register https://lnkd.in/gW2teDCy Photo by Nina Callanan #CompetitiveEnergyServices #Sustainability #EnergyConsulting #Oil #NaturalGas #RenewableEnergy #Solar #Electricity #CESMarketSummary #CESInsider #CESInsights #Energy #EnergyMarkets #Commodities
