Glossary Carbon Footprinting
Carbon footprinting is the process of measuring and quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a particular product, service, organization, or activity. Carbon footprinting typically involves calculating the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other GHG emissions that are released into the atmosphere as a result of the activity being measured.
Carbon footprinting can be used to identify areas where GHG emissions can be reduced and to track progress towards emissions reduction targets. Carbon footprinting can also be used by companies to understand and manage their carbon emissions, to assess the carbon impact of their supply chain, and to communicate their sustainability performance to stakeholders.
The carbon footprint of a product, service, or organization can be calculated using a variety of methods, such as:
Carbon footprinting typically involves identifying the GHG emissions associated with a particular activity, converting these emissions into CO2 equivalents, and then reporting the results in a standardized format. The most commonly used carbon footprinting standards include the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064.
