A carbon assessment evaluates the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.

A company’s carbon footprint represents the amount of carbon dioxide or other carbon compounds emitted into the atmosphere by the activities of the company in question. It is a key element in helping companies reduce their emissions. The lower a company’s carbon footprint the better!

It is important that companies set ambitious goals, and even better ‘science-based targets’ to ensure their goals are measurable, verifiable and in line with what the latest climate science says is necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – to limit global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
