Natalie Eichmann, managing director of Gilt Edged, says the calculator is helping the company to cut CO2
Gilt Edged, a supplier of company branded products and promotional items in Moulton Park in Northampton, has been using the "accessible" calculator. Keeping track of carbon footprint can cost a business with up to 50 staff about £10,000 a year, the project said. Natalie Eichmann, managing director at Gilt Edged, said the tool helped them "to know where to focus our efforts"."The cost to actually try and monitor your own carbon footprint can be quite excessive, and some of the calculators out on the market can be quite confusing," she said.
It is also part of an ongoing Towards A Net Zero scheme in the county, which is led by Dr Ebenezer Laryea.
