The goal of the study is identify the carbon footprint for the transportation in the upstream supply chain of a company, reporting in details the process, the issues, the possible solutions and suggesting possible development of the carbon footprint for the sector. The work presented is part of a bigger project, aimed at calculating the carbon footprint of the company Stiga. A secondary objective is to provide a comparison between different methods of calculation and databases. The entirety of this task has to be in compliance with the ISO 14064, that gives specific guidelines on how to calculate the emissions for each category of the carbon footprint and how to report them, in order to provide clear and replicable results. The outcome of the calculations assessed the greenhouse gases emissions to be 1555.74 t CO2e. Different methods of calculation using the software Simapro are consistent between themselves, but not with factors provided in different national databases.

Abstract
The goal of the study is identify the carbon footprint for the transportation in the upstream supply chain of a company, reporting in details the process, the issues, the possible solutions and suggesting possible development of the carbon footprint for the sector. The work presented is part of a bigger project, aimed at calculating the carbon footprint of the company Stiga. A secondary objective is to provide a comparison between different methods of calculation and databases. The entirety of this task has to be in compliance with the ISO 14064, that gives specific guidelines on how to calculate the emissions for each category of the carbon footprint and how to report them, in order to provide clear and replicable results. The outcome of the calculations assessed the greenhouse gases emissions to be 1555.74 t CO2e. Different methods of calculation using the software Simapro are consistent between themselves, but not with factors provided in different national databases.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
