Jun 21, 2010 (PRN): The Carbon Trust has launched a new guide aimed at helping businesses calculate their carbon footprint.Called `Carbon Footprinting: The next step to reducing your emissions`, it explains clearly how firms can reduce and manage their carbon emissions by understanding how they are produced by business activities. The new guide explains how to calculate an organisation`s carbon footprint - by measuring all the CO2 emissions that are emitted during its activities.

It also tells businesses how they can assess and verify the carbon footprint of the products they use from the manufacturing stage onwards. In order to conduct ongoing carbon management, there are tips on how companies can look to reduce their carbon emissions and save costs across their business.

`We have created this guide to help people understand what makes up the carbon footprint of their business or product, how to measure and communicate it, and how to use that footprint as part of a long-term plan to reduce carbon emissions,` said Hugh Jones, director of solutions for the trust. The Carbon Trust is a not-for-profit company which aims to accelerate the UK`s bid to becoming a low-carbon economy.
