Carbon intensity is a measure of how much carbon dioxide (CO₂) (or CO₂-equivalent greenhouse gases) is emitted per unit of output . It shows how efficiently a company, product, or economy generates value while managing its emissions. In business terms, it’s the ratio between GHG emissions and a relevant activity or economic unit , such as revenue, energy produced, or product manufactured. Formal Definition - Carbon Intensity Carbon Intensity = Total GHG Emissions (in CO

Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) is a tool companies use to assign a monetary value to their own greenhouse‑gas emissions , even if they don’t yet pay an external carbon tax. It’s an internal accounting mechanism that helps them anticipate future carbon costs , guide investments , and steer strategy toward a low‑carbon model. “We assume each tonne of CO₂  we emit costs  us  X  dollars — and use that assumption when we make business decisions.” Types of Internal Carbon Pricing

⚖️ 1. What Is Net Zero? Net Zero means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere with the amount removed . In other words: The total emissions a country, firm, or individual releases ≈ the total removed through natural or technological means. How to Reach Net Zero Reduce emissions as much as possible (renewable energy, efficiency, electrification, etc.). Remove or offset residual emissions using: Reforestation and soil carbon sequestratio

The report shows that 63% of the world’s largest publicly listed companies or 70% of the Forbes Global 2000 now have net zero goals. In short, commitment to net zero has become the corporate norm.
