Businesses need to understand their carbon account or footprint to assess their climate impact and risk. This can be tricky, especially when involving your supply chain. 

There is an evolving and expanding market of online platforms and software to support carbon accounting and supply chain engagement. There are also impending requirements for mandatory carbon reporting to consider.
