Measuring your carbon footprint. How and why?

Come and join us at Bodriggy, the first Brewery in the state to achieve Climate Active certification for both organisation and product, to learn about Carbon Reporting, why it matters to your business and how to best go about it. The session will cover mandatory carbon reporting, who it impacts and when. We will talk about what it means to measure your carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 & 3 and setting boundaries), what can make it easier and importantly how it can benefit your business.
