Begin With A Comprehensive Carbon Audit
To accurately measure your business’s carbon footprint, you’ll need to gather data on the following:
Energy consumption: Electricity and fuel usage for company vehicles.
Water usage: Consumption and treatment processes.
Employee travel: Commuting and business trips.
Waste management: Disposal and recycling practices.
By analysing this information, you can identify areas where you can reduce your environmental impact.
Your carbon footprint refers to your business’s total greenhouse gas emissions. In short, it’s your business’s silent impact on the planet. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming, so measuring and actively reducing your carbon footprint is vital to protecting the planet.
At Tariff.com, we can carry out a comprehensive carbon audit to measure your business’s carbon footprint. Our consultants are trained to calculate your emissions, ensuring you have all the data you need to set achievable targets and start reducing.
If you’re looking to proactively monitor your emissions, IPSUM may be just the thing for you. Your carbon footprint is constantly evolving. IPSUM is a carbon management system designed to track, measure, and monitor your emissions.
Using small IoT sensors connected to your energy use points, IPSUM enables you to measure how much energy is being used, as well as when and where in your business. It presents this data in a user-friendly dashboard, for an at-a-glance overview of your carbon footprint.
