How to Measure, Reduce, and Neutralize Carbon Footprint in Chile

Managing the Carbon Footprint in Chile has become fundamental on the path toward sustainability. The national program HuellaChile, launched in 2013 by the Climate Change Office of the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), seeks to have companies and organizations measure, manage, and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Through HuellaChile, organizations can obtain standardized tools and formats to report their emissions, develop mitigation plans, and ultimately acquire carbon credits to achieve neutrality.
