          Understanding your impact

          Carbon, biodiversity, and plastic footprints

          A carbon footprint measures the amount of carbon dioxide your business emits or is responsible for, while a biodiversity footprint refers to your impact on ecosystems and species. A plastic footprint, on the other hand, means the amount of plastic waste your business generates. At DGB, we provide the tools and expertise to help you address all three of these impacts, allowing you to change your environmental footprint into positive impact.

          Frequently asked questions

          How do you report on your company’s sustainability?

          To report on your company’s sustainability, start by identifying key metrics across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas relevant to your industry. Define clear, measurable goals that align with your business strategy to ensure meaningful progress. Use established reporting frameworks such to structure your report and ensure transparency. Highlight specific initiatives and practices that demonstrate your commitment to sustainability. Engage stakeholders by sharing your findings openly and consider third-party validation, such as certifications or audits, to enhance credibility and accountability.

          How do you measure your carbon footprint?

          Measuring your carbon footprint involves quantifying the greenhouse gas emissions generated by your business activities. Collect data on energy use, transportation, waste, and raw materials, then convert this data into emissions using standard methodologies like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Finally, analyse results to identify areas for reduction and track progress over time.

          With DGB's online carbon footprint calculator, we make it easy for you. Just create an account and add your relevant data, and our tool will automatically calculate your carbon footprint using the latest emission factors. You will then receive a report with the findings.

          How do you measure your plastic footprint?

          Measuring your plastic footprint involves assessing the amount of plastic your business produces, consumes, and disposes of across its operations. Start by tracking plastic use in products, packaging, and supply chains, categorising it into types such as single-use or recyclable plastics. Measure waste generation and disposal methods, including recycling, landfill, or incineration. This data can then be analysed to calculate the overall environmental impact, helping identify opportunities to reduce plastic usage, switch to sustainable materials, or improve recycling efforts.

          How do you measure your biodiversity footprint?

          Measuring your biodiversity footprint involves analysing the impact of your organisation's activities on ecosystems, species, and habitats. This process includes identifying key operations that contribute to habitat loss, pollution, or resource overuse. Data on land use, water consumption, and emissions are examined alongside their effects on local biodiversity. By mapping these effects, businesses can develop strategies to mitigate harm, promote restoration, and align with biodiversity conservation goals.

          What do CSRD reports include?

          The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) required reporting on overall sustainably, include key disclosures covering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors such us: environmental impact, social factors, governance, materiality assessment, and supply chain accountability.
