Carbon footprints are influenced by various factors including energy consumption, transportation choices, diet, waste generation, and consumption patterns. For businesses, this includes operational emissions, supply chain activities, and employee-related emissions.

How is carbon footprint measured?

Carbon footprints are measured by calculating the total greenhouse gas emissions from various activities, typically expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). This includes direct emissions from owned sources and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and value chain activities.
