Carbon Footprinting (GHG Audit)

A Carbon Footprint, or Green House Gas Inventory (GHG Inventory) is the total amount of green house gas emission caused by an entity, product, or event. There are various standards that describe what is to be included or not included in a carbon footprint and how it should be calculated. There are many reasons why someone may wish to know the footprint of their organization or product. It provides a complete picture of the sources of consumption and emission in an organization or supply chain. Exporters wish to footprint their products to prepare for compliance with import regulations in European Markets and to increase their appeal to European consumers.

Some reasons to footprint:
- Establishing of Green House Gas emissions for corporate social responsibility
- Analysis of supply chain to better understand and increase efficiency
- Preparation to comply with import regulations in European markets
- Focusing of employee and organizational behavior on savings and leaner operation
- Attract customers and clients, particularly in industries such as tourism
- To demonstrate their environmental commitment and position as leaders in sustainability
