Many businesses want to understand the impact they are having on climate change. Calculating a carbon footprint is an essential starting point.
Measuring your carbon footprint provides the baseline needed to implement an effective sustainability and carbon reduction strategy to drive urgently needed climate action.
Our introductory guide explains carbon footprinting and why carbon footprints matter for your business. It looks at how to both calculate and communicate your organisational and product carbon footprints effectively, as well as how to use your carbon footprint as a starting point for setting science-based and Net Zero targets.
We answer key questions:
