How much of an impact does your business have on the environment? In just a few minutes, you can measure your carbon footprint and start making a meaningful difference. Take the first step towards sustainability and discover how your business can become Earth-positive.
A carbon footprint is the entire amount of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) produced by human actions. According to pawprint.eco, the average carbon footprint per person in the UK is 12.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, and in the US, it's 21 tonnes.
By 2050, the average worldwide carbon footprint per year must fall to under 2 tonnes per person in order to have the best chance of reaching the goals of the UN Paris Agreement.
Analysing your carbon emissions isn’t just good for the planet—it’s smart for your business too. By pinpointing where your operations consume the most energy and resources, you can uncover opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements.
Reducing your carbon footprint can lead to lower energy bills and a more streamlined operation, making sustainability a win-win for both your business and the environment.
DGB's nature-based projects are independently audited and certified by VCS or the Gold Standard in accordance with their guidelines. Mitigating environmental impacts requires restoring nature. When you offset your footprint, you invest in biodiversity and ecosystem restoration by protecting forests. Start measuring your carbon footprint now as the first step towards a positive impact by answering a few simple questions about your business.
Calculate your carbon footprint, evaluate which aspects of your daily activities you can modify to reduce your carbon footprint, and offset hard-to-abate emissions.
Many of our daily activities—such as using electricity, driving a car, or disposing of waste—cause emissions. Together these emissions make up a business' carbon footprint.
Every organisation's carbon footprint is different depending on its location, habits, and personal choices. To calculate your carbon footprint, we use the answers to your questions and combine that information with corporate standard statistics taken from Greenhouse Gas Protocol. DGB's CO2.Expert carbon calculator is free and easy to use.
Identifying your carbon emissions directly benefits your business as your company analyses how much energy and resources your operations consume and where there is potential for cost and resources savings.
As an increasing number of customers care about the impact of products on the environment, more and more companies are sharing data about their carbon footprint and nature impact with their investors and consumers.
“From the very beginning of our business, we have adopted a strict protocol for the management of the process. We carefully review our project collaborators and suppliers before we deliver any service to you. While each of our projects is validated to international standards with VCS, the ongoing management of our carbon offset project portfolio is fully traceable. DGB can support and help you to calculate and reduce your carbon emissions, from data collection to reduction strategies and offsetting measures."
"Reducing carbon emissions might seem overwhelming sometimes, yet we hope to put your mind at ease and help you understand the benefits of becoming green for your organisation. At DGB, we offer our own tailor-made carbon calculator to identify your business’ carbon footprint quickly and easily. After this phase, we can help you remove your C02 emissions through certified tree planting and verified carbon credits. Now, you've taken the simplest and best step in reducing your carbon footprint."
