Measure your footprint

One of the most effective ways to become more sustainable is to measure and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions emitted by your organisation. Measuring emissions helps you set science-based net-zero targets that align with your company and the research sector's goals.

This Compare Your Footprint webinar outlines the key ways to measure the carbon footprint of your organisation. It also offers practical guidance on how to get started (or continue) to help you meet the requirements of the MRS Net Zero Pledge.

This webinar covers: 

• What data you will need to collect to measure your business activities
• High-level how to use software to calculate your carbon footprint
• How to identify your carbon hotspots

The MRS Net Zero Pledge does not mandate the process you choose to measure your carbon footprint. Although if you would like help MRS has partnered with Compare Your Footprint to offer their carbon footprint calculation software. All MRS Company Partners are eligible to a 20% discount on the software (MRS makes no financial gain in this arrangement). Find out more here.
