Climate crisis, mobility turnaround, new work or digitalization: the topic of sustainability has many facets. In our "Sustainability Knowledge"

A greenhouse gas balance for carbon dioxide - often also called CO2 footprint or carbon footprint - is used to determine the direct and indirect emissions that result from the actions of a company. Greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide are recorded as CO2 equivalents (CO2e) to have a single target figure on which the effects of business activities and the effectiveness of climate protection projects are recorded. You can also use the scientific unit system of ID-Report to perform CO2-equivalence calculations and to collect and process emissions.
