Carbon Footprint is the measure of the total greenhouse gas emissions associated to a product, organisation or service. The carbon footprint is divided into three categories, known as Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, which group the sources of direct and indirect emissions associated with an organisation.
Contributing to the fight against climate change
CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming, and companies have a key role to play in reducing its impact on the environment. Offsetting emissions is a concrete way to contribute to the fight against climate change, as well as funding projects that benefit the environment and local communities, promoting development and nature conservation.Demonstrate a concrete commitment to sustainability
Companies that commit to offsetting their emissions demonstrate that they are environmentally conscious and take their impact on the environment seriously. This has an impact on corporate reputation and can be a competitive advantage in today's marketplace, where more and more consumers are choosing to purchase products and services from sustainable companies.
Comply with regulations and don't be surprised.
Measuring carbon emissions, in all relevant areas, is critical for companies that want to stay in line with environmental regulations and policies, such as the “Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)” for EU companies.
Not only do you avoid unpleasant financial penalties, but you also protect your company's reputation as well.
If you can't measure, you can't improve.
If you do not properly measure your carbon emissions, your ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategies may require a lot of effort, but be ineffective in terms of real impact. Measuring and monitoring CO2 emissions is the fundamental basis for developing effective and transparent ESG strategies.Less cost to the environment, but also to the company
Identifying and quantifying CO2 emissions can reveal energy waste or inefficiencies in business processes. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases can increase efficiency and lead to greater savings.What is Green Future Project?
