Practical carbon capability for professionals and organisations.
Carbon Training International is a specialist professional education business focused on carbon accounting, carbon management, climate disclosure and practical organisational capability. CTI’s training approach is practitioner-led, structured around real workplace application and designed for both individual professionals and organisational teams.
Winton Evers remains CTI’s Lead Facilitator and the principal face of CTI’s training delivery, providing continuity across the learning pathway and bringing practical experience in carbon management, accounting, finance, systems, risk and organisational implementation. CTI also draws on specialist contributors with complementary expertise in ESG reporting, climate-related disclosure, research and organisational practice.
A specialist training organisation, with experienced lead facilitation.
CTI’s capability is broader than any one individual. Its professional courses, organisational programs and learning pathways are built around a consistent practitioner-led approach, with Winton Evers serving as Lead Facilitator and supporting continuity across the training experience, alongside specialist contributors in areas such as ESG reporting, climate disclosure and carbon-accounting research.
Specialist carbon education
CTI provides professional learning across carbon accounting, carbon offsetting, strategic carbon management and climate-disclosure implementation.
Training for organisations
Private cohorts and tailored programs allow organisations to build capability across finance, sustainability, reporting, operations and management teams.
Connected learning pathways
CTI’s modular structure allows relevant completed learning to carry forward, so professionals can build capability without unnecessary repetition.
Lead facilitation with specialist expertise
Winton Evers leads facilitation across CTI’s learning pathways, supported by specialist contributors whose expertise extends CTI’s capability in areas including ESG reporting, climate disclosure and applied carbon-accounting research.
Supporting CTI with ESG reporting, climate disclosure and carbon-accounting research.
CTI’s specialist capability is strengthened by contributors who bring complementary academic and organisational experience. Shirley Chen contributes expertise in ESG reporting, climate-related disclosure, carbon accounting, life cycle analysis and ESG data analytics.
Shirley Chen is a PhD candidate in Carbon Accounting at the School of Business, Western Sydney University. She co-developed BUSM7115 ESG Reporting, a new postgraduate course, from its initial design through to case studies, lecture materials and assessments. She lectures on sustainability reporting frameworks, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions measurement and life cycle analysis, drawing on more than twenty years of university teaching experience as a former Associate Professor.
Her research includes published work on ESG performance and profitability in Business Strategy and the Environment and on corporate decarbonisation in the Journal of Risk and Financial Management, together with further research examining environmental synergy, innovation and cost reduction.
More recently, Shirley has worked in the risk departments of two international banks in Sydney. Her work included contributing to the development of an ESG framework and supporting preparation of a first climate-related risk disclosure. She also holds CTI’s Certificate in Strategic Carbon Management.
Through CTI, Shirley supports course development and ESG consulting capability, combining practical experience inside financial institutions with research-level expertise in carbon accounting and postgraduate teaching in ESG reporting.
The practical experience behind CTI’s lead facilitation.
As CTI’s Lead Facilitator, Winton brings a background shaped by industries where safety, resources, cost control and environmental impact all had to be managed in practical terms. That experience helps inform CTI’s emphasis on implementation rather than theory alone.
Before moving into carbon and energy management, Winton operated in the demolition industry. His former company, Becwins, maintained a building-materials recycling yard that recovered reusable materials which would otherwise have gone to landfill. Those reclaimed materials went on to be incorporated into homes across the Blue Mountains.
Working in a high-risk industry also made workplace safety a constant priority. Winton developed safer demolition methods and later became a TAFE facilitator in demolition supervision, asbestos awareness and construction induction.
When he encountered the GHG Accounting Standard, Winton saw a similar opportunity: organisations could improve both environmental and financial performance by understanding and managing the sources of their greenhouse gas emissions.
He completed CTI’s Certificate IV in Carbon Management in late 2010 and has since trained more than 100 students at Certificate IV level.
Carbon capability connected to the way organisations actually work.
CTI training is designed to bridge technical carbon requirements with financial, operational and management systems.
Carbon accounting with financial discipline
CTI applies financial and management-accounting discipline to carbon inventories, helping participants understand how carbon data can be organised, checked and used within established organisational systems.
Risk and disclosure awareness
Training considers climate and sustainability-related risks, financial disclosure expectations and the need for information that can stand up to internal and external scrutiny.
Implementation over theory
The focus is on systems, data, boundaries, emission factors, decisions and practical implementation rather than abstract theory alone.
Lead facilitation with specialist support
As CTI’s Lead Facilitator, Winton provides continuity and a consistent teaching approach across the learning pathway, while specialist contributors add depth in areas such as ESG reporting, climate disclosure, research and organisational implementation.
How practitioner experience informs CTI training.
Carbon accounting systems
Aligning carbon-accounting processes with financial and management-accounting processes, including practical ways to organise and reconcile carbon information.
Climate and sustainability risk
Developing risk-management systems that help organisations respond to financial-disclosure requirements and customer expectations.
Energy and environmental performance
Connecting emissions information with practical opportunities to improve energy efficiency, resource use and organisational performance.
Collaboration across disciplines
Recognising that successful carbon projects often require finance, sustainability, engineering, operations, management and other disciplines to work together.
Putting energy knowledge to work beyond the classroom.
Winton is Treasurer of Sunshine Project for Community Inc, an ACNC-registered charity that helps fund renewable-energy systems for not-for-profit organisations supporting people in need.
Sunshine Project also runs community energy workshops designed to help people understand practical ways to reduce their energy bills.
