The benefits of registering your Carbon Footprint with MITECO

As major emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), companies play a crucial role in the decarbonization process. Achieving this goal requires a series of steps, including measuring and recording the corporate carbon footprint to enable effective tracking.

In Spain, registration with MITECO offers multiple benefits. To explore the corporate commitment to sustainability, it’s essential to first understand the terms defining it. Next, we’ll delve into MITECO and the advantages it provides through carbon footprint registration.

Why measure your Carbon Footprint with MITECO?

The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) is responsible for Spain’s national policies on climate change. Its scope includes water management, ecosystem and biodiversity protection, coastal management, and more.

For over a decade, MITECO has maintained a voluntary registry that facilitates the measurement, reduction, and offsetting of companies’ carbon footprints. This registry provides resources specifically designed to absorb CO₂ released into the atmosphere.

The importance of measuring your carbon footprint with MITECO lies in its comprehensive plans for effective reduction and tracking the progress of implemented strategies.

When companies register, MITECO issues a seal certifying their commitment to the environment, reflecting the numerous benefits companies gain by joining the voluntary registry.
