New Explainer on Measuring Carbon Footprint

The BU Climate Working Group has released the first in a series of 'explainer' videos exploring organisational and process adjustments which support low-carbon transition

The first video features the BPIFRANCE environmental social and climate team presenting on carbon footprint assessment.

The explainer covers:

• Defining carbon footprint as an indicator measuring the impact of any activity on the environment, and the GHG emissions linked to this
• The importance of carbon footprint measurement to the organisation's overall climate objectives, carbon reduction strategy and  meeting international targets for decarbonisation

• Presentation of Bpifrance's calculation methodology based on  annual emissions associated with technology, operation, duration, sectoral data and carbon intensity. 
• Lessons learned including avoiding double-counting, ensuring access to the most accurate data as this evolves and understanding the limits of a statistical approach
