According to the report of the firm Estudio G&D, every time More companies are trying to be aware of their impact on the environment by calculating their carbon footprint.

According to the company, The importance of carbon footprint measurement has several reasons. The causes are varied and related to environment and exposure sustainability, As well as A Improving their social image, he said.

Meanwhile, others try to differentiate their products in the market, From generating niches where consumers differentiate their purchases based on a product’s carbon footprint. In this context, it is also clear that at some point countries will start to require this calculation to access these markets.

There is another benefit for companies Formation of carbon bonds that they can sell in said market and generate income from their investment in environmental care.

in this line How is the carbon footprint calculated? To determine the carbon footprint, a number of online calculators are used, which allow us to determine the volume of emissions generated by the activity, upload the inventory of all elements that generate carbon dioxide emissions and their corresponding amounts. Finally, these systems provide a value for the total emissions generated by the activity. ” Indian.

What is the biggest limitation in calculating the carbon footprint? According to the report, the biggest problem every company has is the elements they create Your carbon footprint inventory is scattered across multiple databases in your management system, Which causes a headache to extract the information and can load said data into the calculator.

G&D evolved with Intermedia A system that automates this process of searching for elements, Surfing databases to automatically extract data to create a A new database containing only the elements necessary to calculate the carbon footprint”.

“This means that thanks to the new automated system, The process is very simple. This has many benefits: one is to convert a manual process into an automated process. It will also allow you to know the carbon footprint in short periods of time, for example a month, and thus be able to measure its evolution more precisely and to measure the impact that change strategies can have when introducing or replacing them in our production cycle. ” they said.

As detailed in this system It will be known “quickly” how the carbon footprint is changing. “Currently, companies manage to determine their carbon footprint once a year. Now, thanks to this system, The calculation can be monthly and at a much lower price. The benefits for companies are overwhelming, thanks to automation in the process of tracing all the elements that make up their carbon footprint,” they concluded.
