The objective of this initiative is to mobilize a group of companies to commit to the measurement and compensation of their Carbon Footprint and thus serve as an example to both other companies and society as a whole.

The objective of this initiative is to mobilize a group of companies to commit to the measurement and compensation of their Carbon Footprint and thus serve as an example to both other companies and society as a whole.

The project aims to raise awareness among Spanish companies and society about the need to know the impact of economic activity on the level of CO2 and global warming, as well as to raise awareness of the existing possibilities of mitigating this impact.

To this end, a pilot initiative will be developed in which fifteen companies will measure their Carbon Footprint. In addition, they will compensate a part through voluntary initiatives and participate in public awareness campaigns.

The specific objectives are:

• To design and validate a common methodology and tool for assessing the Carbon Footprint for a specific transformation process in the agri-food sector, specifically wine and cider production.
• To evaluate the Carbon Footprint of companies in the wine and cider production sector in Asturias, Andalusia and Extremadura.
• To achieve the commitment of companies to participate in an initiative to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• Disseminate the results of the project to promote awareness in the sector in the field of GHG emission reduction, through the evaluation of the Carbon Footprint of their organizations.

The activities that will be developed are the following:

1. Design of the methodology for the evaluation of the Carbon Footprint of the wine and cider production process.
2. Carbon Footprint Assessment in companies in the wine and cider production sector.
3. Commitment to offset GHG emissions.
4. Dissemination and awareness-raising tasks.
