How can we help your business?

Framework

European policies aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) have set out specific mandatory reductions as well as measures to contain total GHG emissions on a voluntary basis for certain sectors of industry. Moreover, market players increasingly request and value products and services featuring a reduced environmental footprint.
This context eventually led to the development of standards intended for the quantification the carbon footprint of products.
Results show the general effectiveness of carbon footprint quantification, both as a means of monitoring and reducing emissions and as a way to enhance the visibility of a company's awareness of sustainability issues.
In Italy, the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea is promoting, through the Task Force for the Environmental Footprint, the voluntary use of such tools in over 200 companies.
