Carbon Footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted directly or indirectly, expressed as a net total emission value. These emissions are measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO2eq). The calculation converts all GHGs into CO2 equivalents using a standardized Global Warming Potential (GWP) table based on a 20-year time horizon.

- Legal Entities: Such as corporations or organizations. The Carbon Footprint is measured over a specified period, typically per year.
- Locations: Specific geographical sites or operational areas within the organization.
