CARBONWISE PROJECT
The CarbonWise project makes companies aware of their carbon footprint and the parameters it consists of, finds ways to decrease it and builds up a competitive advantage based on a carbon-wise strategy. This project encourages companies to re-examine their product and service development and consider the possibilities offered by circular economy and climate challenge-based wise activities. Being carbon-wise refers to implementing company activities in a way that minimises the negative environmental impact throughout the product life cycle and organisation level activities.
Objectives of the project
- To enable companies to understand, monitor and analyse their carbon footprint parameters in order to minimise their carbon footprint.
- To provide companies with means and tools for minimising their carbon footprint as well as ways to implement compensation and carbon handprint activities.
- To encourage companies to aim at having a competitive advantage based on a carbon-wise brand design strategy.
- To promote corporate responsibility at regional level and to encourage innovative solutions, trials and pilots.
- To demonstrate ways to reduce the carbon footprint of cities and to make actions transparent by having a positive impact on the everyday lives of the residents.
The target group of the development actions in Espoo are companies in the tourism industry.
