Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one of the major causes of rising global warming. CO2, Methane & NOx gases form a major part of greenhouse gases released from fossil fuels such as oil and gas. Due to rising GHG emissions from the operations of companies, it became important among major contributing sectors to report GHG emissions during their operations.
Several retailers, including Walmart, already measure their carbon footprints and climate change programs. Retailers generate a significant portion of their carbon footprint in their stores. Heating, lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, cooking, and refrigeration are the main factors for a retail outlet's direct energy consumption, and therefore carbon emissions.
