Carbon Footprint for Companies
Consulting, studies and evaluations for private companies
The Carbon Footprint (literally "carbon footprint") is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated directly or indirectly with a product, service or enterprise. It is, therefore, a metric for assessing the environmental impact of companies, implementing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and helping to combat climate change. Emissions data are expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent, taking the greenhouse effect produced by CO2 as 1.
Enertech Solution can determine your company's Carbon Footprint and identify functional interventions to reduce it.
To calculate the Carbon Footprint, it is necessary to collect data on energy consumption associated with different activities, such as production processes, room air conditioning, lighting, transportation of goods and waste disposal. A certain amount of greenhouse gas produced can be associated with each of these consumptions, which is then converted into tons of CO2 equivalent. These represent the yardstick for all climate-changing emissions. The Carbon Footprint can be associated with a product, a service or an organization: in all cases it is necessary to take into account both direct and indirect inputs, associated with each process that contributes to the definition of the activity or to the realization of the product.
Benefits of the Carbon Footprint for companies
The result of the Carbon Footprint calculation can be used to identify areas where greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced and implement strategies to make processes more sustainable. In addition, companies can use the Carbon Footprint to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and to meet the expectations of consumers, investors and stakeholders regarding environmental responsibility.

Energy Savings
Measuring the environmental impact of activities, products and services produces awareness and induces change. Enertech Solution helps companies identify the most suitable actions to reduce climate gas emissions and supports them with the design of interventions aimed at reducing energy consumption that also produce benefits in terms of economic savings.
Sustainability toward customers and investors
Companies, in today’s market environment, are rewarded if they qualify as providers of low-emission products or services. The Carbon Footprint can be a tool to enhance the value of one’s activities and promote policies of social and environmental responsibility.
Countering climate change
Becoming aware of the impacts of business activities on the environment and, as a result, adopting more sustainable policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions helps to combat global warming and create a better future for the planet. One of the mechanisms for reducing the Carbon Footprint can be offsetting the CO2 produced through reforestation projects.

FAQ
Carbon Footprint
How can you know the Carbon Footprint associated with your business?
In order to know its Carbon Footprint, a company needs to engage the services of industry professionals, with appropriate training and experience, who are able to assess the environmental impact associated with all business processes. Enertech Solution offers a team of energy engineers capable of analyzing each stage of the production process and individually assessing the share of greenhouse gases associated with each activity. Once the company’s impact has been identified, it will be possible to define interventions to increase the efficiency of processes or mechanisms to compernsate the tons of CO2 equivalent produced.
Who calculates the carbon footprint?
Companies, government agencies and organizations can determine the Carbon Footprint associated with their activities to assess their environmental impact and identify strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pursuing sustainability in processes qualifies companies and makes them more competitive in an increasingly environmentally conscious market. The calculation can be done with the help of Enertech Solution professionals who offer energy consulting and design services.
What are the steps to follow to calculate the carbon footprint?
The Carbon Footprint calculation consists of quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by the company’s activities as a whole and identifying opportunities to reduce them. The steps are: Defining the objective and scope of the analysis; Collecting data; Quantifying GHG emissions; Identifying opportunities to reduce emissions; Writing the report.
