What is carbon accounting?

Carbon accounting is the measurement of an organisation’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions come from activities like using fuel and electricity, buying goods and services, waste, travelling, investing and more. Your carbon accounting could commence with Newton & Henry completing a Emissions Assessment for your business or organisation.
