IDS, a security services firm contracted by the UN, conducted a carbon accounting pilot project in Afghanistan following the E-liability approach.

They began by identifying the major activities associated with providing that daily service: training personnel, transporting them to the location, equipping and feeding them, together with “overhead” activities such as running their headquarters out of Dubai. In the next step, they gathered data on the emissions generated in the major activities, discovering to their surprise that 38.5% of their total emissions came from feeding their staff.
