Why calculate the carbon footprint? Method, costs, benefits.
The carbon footprint is an indicator that measures the impact of an activity on the environment, and in particular the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Every decision made by society has an impact on the climate. That is why it is important to measure these greenhouse gas emissions in order to assess and reduce this impact.
Scope 4, avoided emissions, what are we talking about?

Differences between GHG and Carbon Footprints
Any company that is interested in carrying out a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment will have heard two terms: Carbon Footprint and GHG Footprint. Although they have a similar approach, i.e. the accounting of greenhouse gases emitted by an entity or organization for its activities, there are particularities that differentiate them, such as the definition of the scope of accounting of emissions.Â
