The Foundation and the cooperative Agreste Cesefor launching a carbon footprint certificate, for companies and events, so as to achieve a carbon neutral activity.

Through the new huellacero system, the calculations are made following the GHG Protocol methodology, accepted by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). It also presents a personalized analysis of emissions and suggests best practices to reduce emissions in the future. Finally, the fundamental differentiating step for huellacero is the compensation of emissions in forestry projects, so that in addition to offsetting emissions, huellacero promotes the development of forests in Spain.
