The ‘Carbon Footprint’ of a business is the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) in tonnes of CO2e produced to directly and indirectly support business activities. To accurately calculate a carbon footprint of a business, you will need to collect data about the business; such as energy consumption, heat and lighting options, water consumption, waste production, business mileage, owned and leased vehicle types, refrigeration options – among others, before converting this data into the tonnes CO2e.

This can be a complex process to undertake and requires a good understanding of carbon management and data analysis. Carbon-Zero can help you to:

• Collect and collate data in the correct format for calculating your carbon footprint
• Review, select and understand an appropriate methodology of carbon footprinting
• Undertake the required calculations
• Identify and manage any business risks whilst maximising on cost saving and energy efficient opportunities
