Carbon emissions are the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere due to human activities, primarily from burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and transportation. These emissions contribute to climate change, making it essential for businesses and individuals to track and reduce their carbon footprint.

Achieving net zero means balancing the amount of carbon emitted with an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere. This requires strategic reductions, renewable energy adoption, and carbon offset programs. However, the first step is accurate measurement and tracking of carbon emissions.

## Steps to Calculate Your Carbon Footprint

1. Identify Emission Sources

Emissions are categorized into three main scopes:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned sources like company vehicles and industrial equipment.

Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling.

Scope 3: Indirect emissions from supply chains, employee commuting, waste disposal, and product use.

Understanding these sources helps businesses and individuals identify areas for reduction.

2. Use a Carbon Accounting Platform

Traditional carbon tracking methods involve complex spreadsheets and manual calculations. SustainInsight simplifies this process by automating data collection and analysis. Our platform measures Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using AI-powered tools and ISO 14064-compliant methodologies.
