Measuring your office carbon footprint is a key step for a greener office. It is of high importance for an efficient environmental management: if you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it!

It requires methodology and proper data collection: papers expenses, electronic equipments, electricity charges, office supplies...

• Implement an adequate procedure to measure across all departments.

• Set annually reduction targets to continuously improve.

For suggested sources of data and units of measure (paper, electronic, waste, energy...) refer to Pages 4 - 5 of the UK-based WRAP.org guide and Page 10 - 14 onwards of the Singapore NEA 3R Guidebook for Offices.
