Global climate change

background

The phenomena of Global Warming and its possible influence

on the worlds climate is omnipresent in media around the world

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the identified greenhouse gases

and considered to be the main contributor to global warming
( CO2 measured in carbon footprint )

Meanwhile politicians continue discussing causes and

consequences of CO2 emission, various enterprises have set-up
teams to develop strategies for potential CO2 emission reduction
programs

Various textile retailer/brands start analyzing their organizational

impact on global warming and defined reduction targets

Carbon Footprint Definition

Quantitative measure of the impact human activities have on Global Warming
in terms of the amount of green house gases produced
Carbon footprint is

Measured in kg CO2

Directly related emissions from energy use of fossil fuels

Assessed over the lifecycle of a operation, service or product

Carbon footprint is attributable to:
