Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is an indicator calculated in CO2 equivalent terms, representing the total amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a person, organization, product, or service. It is a fundamental environmental performance measure that quantifies emissions from both direct and indirect sources such as energy use, transportation, production processes, and supply chain.

To combat climate change, it is essential to see with concrete data which sources generate emissions and at what levels. Carbon footprint studies enable the setting of reduction targets, ensure regulatory compliance, and place energy efficiency investments on a scientific foundation. At the same time, they strengthen brand reputation and sustainability performance by providing transparency to stakeholders.
