Carbon footprint assessment

With climate change and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions linked to industrial activities, companies can no longer ignore the need to assess their environmental impact. To support this evaluation, ADEME developed the carbon footprint assessment (“bilan carbone”), a diagnostic tool that helps organizations better understand the negative externalities generated by their activities.

Constraints, evaluation steps, and improvement pathways: here is everything you need to know to properly carry out your carbon footprint assessment.

Here are the questions we will address:

- What is a carbon footprint assessment?

 - What are greenhouse gases?

 - Is the carbon footprint assessment mandatory, and for whom?

 - What are the steps to carry out a carbon footprint assessment?

 - What methods are used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions?

 - What solutions exist to improve your carbon footprint?
