Business travel is essential for many companies, but it can be a large contributor to a company’s carbon footprint. The Carbon Footprint Tracker offers a simple solution for tracking travel emissions. Once set up, claimants will see their carbon footprint for each mileage claim they make.
What is carbon footprint?
Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide and methane) released into the atmosphere as a result of your individual actions and energy consumption.
What are the business benefits of reducing carbon footprint?
In addition to the obvious environmental benefits of reducing your carbon footprint—such as reducing wildlife extinction and reducing pollution and health risks—businesses can also benefit greatly from reducing their carbon emissions. This can include:
- Improved operational efficiency
- Reduced costs in the long run
- Boosted brand reputation as a sustainable company
- Increased engagement from stakeholders and potential new talent
