Description

Determining a carbon footprint is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, sector, or geographic location, that wishes to analyze the contribution of its products or services to climate change and determine an appropriate mitigation strategy. Developing voluntary initiatives aimed at understanding, reducing, and even offsetting a carbon footprint goes beyond regulatory requirements and adds value to the product or service offered by an organization.
In turn, it constitutes a differentiating factor and a deciding factor when choosing a particular product or service in an increasingly demanding and socially and environmentally conscious market. Furthermore, the Carbon Footprint allows an organization to anticipate future regulations and reduction targets imposed by both export markets and the domestic market.
