What is Air Pollution Footprint Partnership?
The Air Pollution Footprint Partnership (APFP) is an online platform that broadens corporate GHG
reporting and enables organisations to share innovative practices and tools for reporting
emissions that contribute to air pollution.
APFP promotes a pioneering reporting framework that incorporates air pollution emissions into
standard greenhouse gas reporting.
