What is carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂ and other GHGs) generated by a company’s activities, product manufacturing, or service provision. Calculating your carbon footprint allows you to accurately identify where the most emissions are generated, implement effective reduction measures, and make informed business decisions. It covers all processes within a company – from energy consumption and transportation, through production, to the entire supply chain.
Why is it worth calculating your carbon footprint?
- You will gain full control over your company’s emissions and easily prepare reliable ESG and CSRD reports, meeting regulatory requirements.
- You will find out where your company’s energy and raw material consumption generates the most CO₂, so you can effectively reduce costs and increase operational efficiency.
- You will improve your brand image in the eyes of customers, business partners, and investors by demonstrating real pro-environmental actions.
- You will receive accurate emissions data that will allow you to make informed decisions about sustainable development and the design of low-carbon products and services.
How is carbon footprint calculated?
- Scope 1 – direct emissions: from own sources, e.g., boilers, company vehicles
- Scope 2 – indirect emissions: from purchased electricity and heat
- Scope 3 – emissions in the supply chain: transport, business travel, raw material production
Through comprehensive analysis, we identify areas where emissions are highest and propose effective reduction measures. We compare the results with best practices in the industry.
