Carbon Reduction, Footprinting and Reporting: In-depth

Summary

A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted as part of the everyday operations of an organisation or the life cycle of a product. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common GHG emitted in terms of quantity and impact on global warming, but other GHGs such as methane and nitrous oxide also have an impact on climate change.
