Carbon Footprint Analysis
Climate change is increasingly recognised as a major challenge, and it is widely accepted that the greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans are having a negative impact on the environment.
Over the last few years the issue of carbon emissions has come to
the forefront of the public’s consciousness and research shows that
consumers now regard carbon as an important element of their
purchasing criteria.
When calculating an organisation’s footprint it is important to
quantify as full a range of emission sources as possible, in order
to provide a complete picture of the organisation’s impact.
Whilst assessing the carbon footprint of a domestic property is
fairly straightforward, calculating the carbon footprint of a
business or school can be much more complicated.
Greenthinking can help identify your organisation's carbon footprint
and
having quantified the emissions, opportunities for reduction can be
identified and prioritised, focusing on the areas of greatest
savings potential.
