CARBON FOOTPRINT
SERVICES
Although not the most important challenge in the 21st century, climate changes today represent the most important multiplier of all other challenges. They complicate functioning and business in the modern world.
The carbon footprint includes calculation of impact of different types of gases that cause the greenhouse effect and thereby contribute to global warming. This term represents the best possible estimate we can get for the total impact of the activities of companies and individuals on environment and contribution to climate change. This mechanism represents a measure of our impact on the environment and climate change during the whole life cycle of products and services, from raw materials required for production or realization of a service, distribution, recycling and disposal.
