What to have at hand before beginning
Why Should Your Business Use The Bude Way Carbon Calculator?
What Is a Carbon Calculator?
Our tool helps calculate the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, usually in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), produced directly and indirectly by a business’s activities. These tools are crucial for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact, comply with regulations, and improve sustainability.
The Sustainable Tourism Project has built this tourism specific carbon calculator for businesses which is freely available unlike many carbon calculators for industries that are behind paywalls.
Why Use It?
During #COP26, David Attenborough addressed world leaders highlighting the united nations’ warning that we must reduce global CO2 emissions by 2030. Failing to do so jeopardises the future generations on this planet.
We encourage every business to use their carbon calculator on an annual basis to track reductions and identify areas with higher emissions.
What Are the Benefits?
- Environmental Impact Reduction: Examples include energy efficiency improvements, waste reduction, and sustainable procurement.
- Cost Saving: Reducing energy consumption and waste can lead to significant cost savings.
- Enhanced Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can improve a company’s reputation with customers, investors, and other stakeholders.
- Strategic Planning: Provides data that can be used to develop long-term sustainability strategies and set realistic emission reduction targets.
