What Is a Carbon Footprint?

What is a 'carbon footprint'?
A carbon footprint is a calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a specific activity - such as flying or driving - or for an individual, business or organisation. Climate Friendly's calculators are internationally recognised as some of the most credible and in-depth available. Individuals can use our calculators for energy, flight and car emissions on our website and we work with business customers on footprint calculations as part of their overall climate change strategy. We qualify Climate Neutral™ status as including all emissions associated with energy use, flights and car transport. Many of our business customers choose to include additional emissions areas such as waste, paper use and employee travel, which we call "Climate Neutral Plus™".
