Carbon and Water Footprinting Services
A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. Similarly a Water Footprint is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce your product or service measured in terms of water volumes per unit of time.
What value is a footprint to your business?
