Carbon footprint
Measuring and understanding a business’ carbon footprint is the first step in managing and reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.
A well-prepared greenhouse gas inventory is an essential tool for businesses who want to understand their environmental impact and identify ways to reduce their carbon emissions.
Preparing and managing a greenhouse gas inventory is a complex process that requires a detailed understanding of the emissions associated with every stage of a product or service’s lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal, and that supply chain data is complete and transparent. At SGY, we overcome these challenges by using advanced data collection and analysis tools, and by engaging suppliers and stakeholders to promote transparency and collaboration.
