Carbon audit and carbon footprint assessment, refers to the regular quantification, including measurement and recording, of the amount of carbon dioxide or its Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) equivalent which are directly and indirectly emitted by an organization over the full life cycle of a product or service. For companies, typical usages and benefits of carrying out a carbon audit include:

​

i) Laying a cornerstone of developing a carbon strategy

ii) Fulfilling social responsibility and enhancing the brand value by reducing carbon footprint

iii) Fulfilling local and international requirements on low carbon products

iv) Saving costs by getting an in-depth understanding of company operations and hence reducing the consumption of energy, such as fossil fuels

v) Minimizing the taxes on emission of carbon
