Carbon Footprint

How to calculate your carbon footprint

Scope 1 are direct emissions caused by any process or activity by the company that causes greenhouse gas emission.

Often this is in the form of fuels burnt on-site or by company-owned vehicles.

Other forms are leaks of refrigerant gases.

Scope 2 are indirect emissions caused by your company purchasing energy (from sources you do not own or control).

Calculating your scope 1 and scope 2 emissions should be relatively straightforward for most companies if you have all your fuel expenses and utility bills for the period you are calculating your carbon footprint for (usually 1 year)
