How to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint in industry

The carbon footprint in industry measures the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the operations of a facility or company. To calculate it, it is necessary to identify the sources of emissions, collect operational data and apply appropriate emission factors. Once the baseline has been established, the company can prioritise actions to reduce its impact.
