Climate change stands as the defining challenge of our century, casting wide-ranging impacts on human life and the planet. At the heart of this crisis are greenhouse gases, largely unleashed by the relentless pace of industrialization across the globe. These emissions are the driving force behind the changing climate, disrupting ecosystems, weather patterns, and economies. To confront this growing threat, the crucial first step is to measure the true scale of our greenhouse gas output and take decisive actions to curb it. Only then we can begin to reverse the tide and safeguard a sustainable future.

What is Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint quantifies the extent to which an individual’s or entity’s activities contribute to climate change, acting as a critical metric of environmental impact. Today, calculating carbon footprints follows updated standards, like ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14064-2:2019 and ISO 14067:2019, ensuring accurate and consistent tracking. These assessments can even be verified by third parties, providing a clear picture of your role in addressing the global climate challenge.
