Carbon footprinting - the next step to reducing your emissions

Carbon Trust - This guide introduces two types of carbon footprinting that affect businesses – one that measures an organisation’s overall activities, and one that looks at the life cycle of a particular product or service.

Calculating either or both of these footprints is a useful starting point for any wider work to reduce your organisation’s carbon emissions, and will give you an initial benchmark against which to measure your progress. In this guide we explain what is included in both types of footprint, how you can measure and communicate them, and the benefits of doing so. We also set out the specific steps you need to take to calculate your footprint(s), and some of the key things to consider if you do.

Finally, we explain how the Carbon Trust can help you calculate your carbon emissions, and work with you to develop a full carbon management strategy for your organisation.  Download Here
