The question facing companies and organisations is no longer whether to take climate action, but rather how and where to begin. It all starts with understanding your carbon footprint, but many companies are struggling to navigate through the terminology of carbon emissions as well as the different frameworks and methodologies available. This bite-sized webinar will provide you with a solid foundation for measuring your organisation’s carbon footprint, as well as an understanding of how this can help you take action and engage with your customers and suppliers.

Carbon measurement is the foundation
for accelerating your climate journey
CARBON
FOOTPRINT
• Engage with clients (B2B)about how to
contribute to their climate goals
• Demonstrate sustainability to end customers (B2C)
and (potential) employees
• Prioritise greeninnovationefforts and product
development
• Set a public targetand commit to it
externally and internally
• Initiate reduction measures
• Start a dialoguewith suppliers to green
your supply chain
• Anchor changein everyday life

How good is your overview of your organisations carbon
footprint?

Have a full overview of our
footprint, including in our supply
chain and at our customers
Have some, but quite limited
picture
Have a quite detailed picture of
many emission categories, but
lack the full overview

There are different levels of measuring. Depending on your
need, you can go from basic to more detailed
• Broad estimates on volumes and
activities
• Industry average emission factors
• Standard values retrieved from different
databases
• Precise estimates on volumes. Also from
supply-chain and customers
• Specific emission factors
