Track, manage, and report on your business’ CO2 emissions with Webexpenses’ carbon footprint tracking. Our tool allows you to:
Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide and methane) released into the atmosphere as a result of your individual actions and energy consumption.
The global average carbon footprint is 4 tons per individual per year, but experts recommend aiming to reduce this to under 2 tons per year by 2025. The transportation sector generates the most carbon emissions due to the burning of fossil fuels to run cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes.
Environmental awareness has become increasingly important over the last decade, and more businesses are attempting to understand the environmental impact of their actions. As a result, many businesses have implemented carbon footprint tracking into their sustainability strategies.
Businesses can offset their carbon footprint in several ways, including but not limited to:
But, the main contributor to a company’s carbon footprint remains travel emissions. By tracking travel emissions, businesses are able to set goals and analyse their carbon footprint effectively.
In addition to the obvious environmental benefits of reducing your carbon footprint—such as reducing wildlife extinction and reducing pollution and health risks—businesses can also benefit greatly from reducing their carbon emissions. This can include:
Business travel is essential for many companies, but it can be a large contributor to a company’s carbon footprint. There are ways to manage corporate travel to help reduce your carbon emissions, protect the atmosphere, and slow down climate change.
Webexpenses’ Carbon Footprint Tracker offers a simple solution for tracking travel emissions. Once set up, claimants will see their carbon footprint for each mileage claim they make. This data can then be used in a bespoke report, allowing your business to gain further insight and contribute towards your goal of becoming a carbon neutral business.
