Carbon Footprint Assessment of an Organization: A Case Study of a Wellness Spa Center

Abstract

     This research assesses the carbon footprint of an organization, specifically a wellness spa. It was survey research aimed at analyzing the amount of carbon emissions produced by the organization and proposing strategies to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The study involves analyzing the organization’s carbon footprint evaluation data according to the guidelines set by the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (a public organization). The analysis categorizes the operational boundaries reflecting the greenhouse gas emissions of various activities within the organization into three scopes. Data for this study was collected from June to November 2023, covering a period of six months.
     The results indicate that the total carbon footprint was 777.02 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent, divided into scopes 1, 2, and 3, with values of 187.23, 585.88, and 0.50 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent, respectively. Scope 2, which includes indirect greenhouse gas emissions from electricity use, accounted for the highest emissions, representing 75.40% of the total.
