Structure
The course is based on proven material developed at Luleå University of Technology, where participants gradually progress from a basic understanding of climate calculation to knowledge and insight into how climate impact plays a role in future business tendering and value proposition processes.
The course combines lectures, practical exercises, and assignments with individual coaching via the university’s learning platform to create real understanding. Work is based on participants’ own businesses, enabling immediate practical application of knowledge.
Throughout the process, participants practice approaching climate calculations and climate accounting with a business-centered and exploratory mindset, strengthening their ability to understand sustainable and competitive business. This is done both from the perspective of their own operations and through exchange with other course participants and collaboration with other stakeholders. Lectures and exercises mainly focus on climate calculation, while joint workshops broaden the focus and apply concrete tasks to business development, project management, and cost calculation.
