Measure your carbon footprint
The document outlines the importance of carbon measurement in addressing climate change, emphasizing the need for organizations to engage clients, set public targets, and green their supply chains. It details the methodologies for calculating carbon footprints across different scopes of emissions, along with potential reduction measures and the value of having a comprehensive understanding of emissions. The document also suggests using both industry averages and specific data to develop accurate emissions profiles and identifies areas for further investigation and strategic action.
