Clean Earth: Calculate Your Footprint

Becoming Carbon Neutral 

By aiming to become carbon neutral you make your business stand out from the crowd, manage the risk of being left behind in an area set to become common practice, and position your business to profit from carbon trading.

Before you can decide on the most effective way to become carbon neutral you need to measure accurately the greenhouse emissions caused directly by your own operations and indirectly by your suppliers and the use of your products. An assessment is best done with the help of an experienced carbon consultant and specialized assessor.
