Carbon footprint

The carbon footprint is an indicator designed to measure the impact of an activity on the environment, and more specifically the greenhouse gas emissions associated with that activity.

This footprint is expressed in "carbon dioxide equivalent" or "CO2e". For the sake of simplicity and standardisation, a single CO2 standard is used for all greenhouse gases.
