Your Footprints / ESG
1stPOSS Services
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. Many of our daily activities contribute to your carbon footprint, such as driving your car and the waste we disposed of. A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, place or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. Because all of use contribute to ‘greenhouse gases’ knowing how we contribute and how much can be a valuable tool, is helping reduce the earth’s total ‘greenhouse gas’ emissions. (search on-line for a ‘carbon footprint calculator, to get your score, on sites such as the EPA’s Household Carbon Footprint Calculator. Your ‘carbon footprint score’ is calculated by summing the emissions resulting from every stage of a product or service’s lifetime (material production, manufacturing, use, and end-of-life).

Your Carbon Footprint
Our living conditions and lifestyles all contribute to our carbon footprint as well as our geographical location. Consumption of goods and services all resulting in GHG (Green House Gas) emissions. Other carbon emissions factors and major sources like electricity, transport, and growing and manufacturing of food, all contribute to GHG.
You can also reduce your carbon footprint by purchasing products that some manufacturers identify on the labels of their products. These labels show information about the impact that their food production has on the environment. This information can help you; the consumer make more ‘wise’ and sustainable choices. Look for carbon footprint labels using consumer friendly symbols, to better your understanding of the labeling process. Considering the wide range of sources, narrowing the focus to a specific category allows for a more insightful analysis.
ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance)
The tool for measuring ESG or Environmental, Social and Governance factors that evaluate companies and countries on how far advanced they are with sustainability. A vast collection of data, that enables companies and government alike to not only measure their ‘sustainable’ programs and policies but their performance as well. Similar, to your carbon footprint score discussed above. ESG is about the specific set of criteria denoting environmental, social and governance or management. While ESG looks at how the management and the relationship between and among all stakeholders, governance lends itself to practicing open, transparent and fair management and disclosing this information to all stakeholders.
Companies, Government and People all have a role to play and the more we collaborate and communicate with each other about our shared environmental challenges and how we go about resolving them, the better the outcomes will be achieved not only for our present society but for our future generations.
