Carbon Footprint Calculation: Why It Matters and How It Drives Real Climate Action

In a world confronting climate change head-on, carbon footprint calculation is no longer
optional-it’s a crucial responsibility for every business. A carbon footprint refers to the total
greenhouse gas emissions (primarily CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) caused by an individual, product, service, or
organization, expressed in CO₂-equivalent units.

These emissions are categorized into three scopes:

 Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., fuel combustion).
 Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or cooling.
 Scope 3: All other indirect emissions across the value chain (e.g., transport, waste, supplier emissions, business travel).

By accurately measuring emissions across all scopes, companies can understand the environmental
impact of their operations-and identify real opportunities to reduce it. This process helps in
meeting ESG goals, aligning with science-based targets (SBTs), preparing for carbon tax or
compliance obligations, and improving brand credibility with climate-conscious customers and
investors.
