Calculate your business emissions

Our free-to-use calculators help measure your business emissions.

Why calculate?

Small and medium sized companies (SMEs) make up 90% of global business and are the foundation of the world’s value chains.

Though the individual footprint of an SME might be small, together they contribute a sizable amount to the global carbon footprint. Many SMEs want to act but may not know where to start.

Measuring and understanding your emissions is a great first step to help your business start taking meaningful action.
