Globally, over 50 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases were generated last year (Approx. 55.1 US tons). Just like individuals, businesses produce a severe carbon footprint, as they generate greenhouse gases through almost every area of their operation.
Product production: Electric or petrol or any kind of energy that makes the machinery work.
Offices, warehouses, stores, laboratories, etc: These structures tend to account for most of a business’ carbon emissions because they require energy, water, and gas to function. As an example, a business with 10,000 square feet of facilities will, on average, produce almost 100 tons of CO₂ emissions per year.
Product Shipping: Land or sea-based transport of goods and products,affiliate distribution companies.
Capital Expenditures: Computers, company vehicles, equipment, and other long term materials that will be used for the business each generate their own eco-footprint.
Employee Travel: Cars or air travel.
