The supportive policies in countries such as China, India, Japan, and Australia are expected to boost the market growth in Asia Pacific over the forecast period.

Moreover, the development of EU and Emissions Performance Standard (EPS) has majorly propelled the carbon footprint management technology penetration in the market. The provision of a cap-and-trade system, which puts a price on carbon emissions is stimulating CCS installations across several industries such as power generation, chemical processing, oil & gas, iron & steel, and others.

Carbon footprint management market is a fragmented market where many companies such as ENGIE, IsoMetrix, SAPaccount for significant market share in the market in 2022. These companies apart from upgrading carbon management solutions are also focusing on various strategic initiatives including partnership, new launches, collaborations and expansion.

Carbon Footprint Management Market Report Highlights

Cloud emerged as fastest growing deployment type in the global  market with CAGR of 12.0% over the forecast period. One of the primary reasons for the growth of cloud segment are remote access and affordability to the end-users.

Enterprise tier has the largest market share in the end-use segment in the market with 39.50% of the market in 2023. As concerns about climate change and its impacts continue to grow, organizations are implementing emissions control and tracking systems in manufacturing or power generation facilities are large scale.

Energy and Utilities accounted for largest market share in the phase system segment in the  market with 31.91% of the market in 2023. The power sector accounted for two-thirds of the emissions growth from the previous year. Due to high emission rates, carbon capture & storage potential is extremely high in coal-fired power plants which is expected to propel the demand for carbon footprint management solution in near future.

As of 2023, the Asia Pacific accounted for 57.01% revenue share in the overall market. Government initiatives by major countries like China, India, Japan and Australia to track and reduce carbon emissions is expected to drive the market over forecast period.

Various strategic initiatives were recorded over the past few years to boost the growth of the market. For instance, in May 2023, SAP launched Green ledger solution to tackle carbon footprint management like tracking of carbon in the daily operations.

Transitioning to a low-carbon business model is a key aspect of sustainable business transformation. It is a strategic approach to reducing environmental impact and ensuring long-term sustainability. Companies that adopt carbon reduction strategies can improve brand reputation, comply with regulations, and achieve cost savings. [1]

Here are 10 several strategies to guide your business:

1. Assess Carbon Footprint

Understanding your business's carbon footprint is the first step in reducing emissions. A comprehensive assessment helps identify key sources of greenhouse gases and areas for improvement.

Measure emissions across operations.

Use standardized tools like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

2. Set Emission Targets

Setting clear and realistic emission targets allows businesses to track progress and stay accountable.

Define measurable goals for carbon reduction.

Align with global standards such as the Paris Agreement.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency

Reducing energy consumption is one of the most effective ways to lower carbon emissions. Businesses can implement several measures to optimize energy use.

Upgrade to energy-efficient lighting and equipment.

Conduct regular maintenance for optimal performance.

4. Adopt Renewable Energy

Transitioning to renewable energy sources can significantly cut carbon emissions and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Invest in solar, wind, or hydroelectric power.

Purchase green energy from certified suppliers.

5. Use Sustainable Materials

Choosing sustainable materials reduces waste and minimizes environmental impact. Businesses should consider eco-friendly alternatives wherever possible.

Choose recyclable and eco-friendly materials.

Apply circular economy principles to reduce waste.

6. Optimize Supply Chain

A sustainable supply chain helps reduce emissions throughout production and distribution.

Source materials locally to reduce transportation emissions.

Partner with suppliers committed to sustainability.

7. Promote Sustainable Culture

Creating a culture of sustainability within the organization encourages employees to participate in carbon reduction efforts.

Educate employees on sustainability practices.

Encourage energy conservation and waste reduction.

8. Implement Smart Technology
