What is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. It includes both direct emissions from activities like driving cars and indirect emissions from the products we use and the services we consume.

How can businesses reduce their carbon footprint?

Businesses can reduce their carbon footprint through various strategies including energy efficiency improvements, switching to renewable energy sources, optimizing supply chains, implementing sustainable practices, and using AI-powered solutions like Carbonpunk to track and optimize their emissions.

What factors contribute to a carbon footprint?

Carbon footprints are influenced by various factors including energy consumption, transportation choices, diet, waste generation, and consumption patterns. For businesses, this includes operational emissions, supply chain activities, and employee-related emissions.

How is carbon footprint measured?

Carbon footprints are measured by calculating the total greenhouse gas emissions from various activities, typically expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). This includes direct emissions from owned sources and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and value chain activities.

What is ESG reporting?

ESG reporting is the disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance data by companies to provide stakeholders with transparent information about their sustainability and ethical practices. It helps businesses demonstrate their commitment to responsible practices and can attract investors, strengthen customer loyalty, and create competitive advantages.
