Customers will increasingly require all of their supplier companies to be able to advise them of the size of their carbon footprint. Your customers, in turn, will need to report their own carbon emissions to their clients. These clients will need to add up all of the carbon emissions from their supply chain. Those businesses who are in a position to specify their carbon footprint to their customers, are more likely to gain a competitive marketing supply advantage over their competitors. In addition, working to becoming carbon neutral, helps fulfill your firm’s CSR obligations and also fight climate change on a voluntary basis.
Your CARBON Footprint? |
measuring it... |
arbon Footprint is a shorthand way of referring to the total amount of GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions which are produced by a business in the course of delivering its product or service to market. Typically the CO2 emissions derive from such items as manufacturing activities; office premises; electricity usage; business travel; company fleet vehicles; taxis and couriers and waste to landfill. The carbon footprint concept is expressed in terms of tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum.
A carbon footprint also applies to carbon emissions caused by an individual or residential household in the course of day-to-day living, such as the electricity used in heating hot water through to the petrol used in driving the kids to school. For instance, a typical family car produces approximately 3 to 4 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – over twice its own weight in emissions. A company fleet vehicle can be even higher. The footprint concept can also be applied to a specific product manufactured by an organisation or to an individual event, such as a concert. |
CO2 is released when fossil fuels are burnt. So we measure your footprint in areas that you use wherein fossil fuels are burnt onsite or offsite. These are:
negating your footprint...It is our belief, that the fastest and cheapest method in becoming ‘carbon neutral’, should be considering purchasing and retiring carbon offsets.

2017 PORTFOLIO OF CARBON REDUCING PROJECTS
PROJECT # 1 (ISO 14064 VERS):
Carbon offsets from municipal waste methane avoidance, garbage reuse & recycling project activitiesRegistry: Markit
Standard Name: Carbon ISO 14064 - 2 Project Type: Energy Industries - renewable/non-renewable sources Vintage: 2008-2010 Volume of offsets: 525,000 VERs The project activities result in GHG emission reductions by avoiding methane emissions which would otherwise have been released due to anaerobic decomposition of the MSW in uncontrolled landfill sites and the use of an equivalent amount of fossil fuels displaced by RDF used for thermal energy generation in the industries supplied.
