Carbon Footprints Accounting and Reduction in Global Supply Chains

Carbon footprint accounting in global supply chains involves measuring the total greenhouse gas emissions produced by all activities involved in bringing a product to market, from raw material extraction to manufacturing, transportation, and disposal. Companies assess this impact to identify areas for improvement. Reducing carbon footprints may involve using renewable energy, optimizing transportation routes, and adopting sustainable materials. These efforts aim to lower emissions, mitigate climate change, and enhance corporate responsibility while meeting consumer demand for environmentally friendly practices. Effective footprint management not only benefits the planet but can also lead to cost savings and improved brand reputation.
