All human beings emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when performing daily activities.
Knowing the individual carbon footprint, de un producto o una empresa helps us fight Climate Change.
Measure, reduce and offset your Carbon footprint for business
With specialists we can measure the impact of your company, product, event or offices and put together an action plan so you can reduce emissions and even offset them.
The carbon footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by a person (by lifestyle), a product, an institution, etc. It is usually measured in tons of CO2 equivalent per year.
It involves these steps:
1) Calculate the carbon footprint (individual, product, service, company, etc.).
2) Reduce it: developing an appropriate strategy
3) Compensate it: supporting projects or buying carbon credits.
The carbon footprint of a company (offices, employee/product transportation, electricity consumption, etc.) can be measured for its products or services. First, the company should define a purpose, since it will vary based on whether the company aims at developing a new product or making structural modifications in order to reduce its footprint.
In 2020, from sustainability without borders, we measured the carbon footprint of all the waste managed by CEAMSE during 2018 and 2019, in turn performing a Life Cycle Analysis of the same.
Compensating involves one of these two actions:
Reducir emisiones: By replacing fossil fuel-based power plants with renewable energy-based power plants, for example.
Store Carbon By planting trees, for example. Through photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the bark.
If it is compensation at the individual level, we recommend that you visit our calculator and once you know your footprint, go to the option to compensate by supporting reforestation projects of native forests in our country. If it is compensation at a business level or on another larger scale, we recommend that you contact us so that we can evaluate the best alternative.
