Sustainability tools and calculators for smaller businesses
Many small businesses are trying to become more sustainable and according to the British Chambers of Commerce, around 79% of businesses surveyed are taking action to reduce their carbon footprint.
One step on this journey is to understand your current position by calculating your carbon footprint.
This calculation can be complex, as you may need to factor in all aspects of your business premises and operations such as transport, plant, equipment, materials and waste systems.
There are several free sustainability tools and calculators that can work out the amount of carbon dioxide produced by different activities, providing you with the total footprint of carbon emitted.
