Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, driven by the unchecked release of greenhouse gases from industrial activities. These emissions disrupt ecosystems, intensify weather extremes, and threaten global economies. The first step toward meaningful climate action is accurate measurement—quantifying our greenhouse gas output to guide reduction strategies and build a sustainable future.

🧮 What Is a Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint measures the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, product, or activity. It’s a vital metric for understanding environmental impact. Using internationally recognized standards—ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14064-2:2019, and ISO 14067:2019—carbon footprints can be calculated with precision and verified by third parties, ensuring transparency and credibility.
