It calculates the direct and indirect amount of CO2-eA standard measure that takes account of the different global warming potentials of greenhouse gases and expresses the cumulative effect in a common unit. emissions produced. is an ongoing journey. Businesses and individuals can and should try and reduce their own carbon emissions through reductions in energy, water and paper use. In addition, carbon offsets can also play a role when providing genuine environmental benefits. Carbon offsets allow organisations to further reduce the net impact of their emissions by supporting those who have a further capacity to reduce emissions."
