A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) — primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂) but also methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and others — emitted directly or indirectly by a person, organization, product, or activity. These emissions are always expressed as “CO₂ equivalent” (CO₂‑e) , meaning all greenhouse gases are converted into an equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming potential (GWP). 💡 Types of Carbon Footprints Category Definitio

Implementing Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculations can be quite challenging for most organizations. These emissions cover indirect activities outside a company’s direct control — such as supply chain operations, product use, and waste disposal. According to analyses from CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) , S&P Global , and EY’s 2024 Climate Disclosure Benchmark : Roughly 75 – 80% of Fortune 500 companies publicly disclose their Scope 1 & 2 emissions.
