Carbon Footprint Study of the Portuguese General Publishing Market

The idea was simple. For books to be truly sustainable the full supply chain needs to be working together to rapidly decarbonize. But it is difficult to see how actions being taken across the supply chain were making tangible carbon reductions. To do this, we used a carbon footprint approach to give an initial estimate of the overall carbon impact of the Portuguese general publishing sector. The data would be supplemented by qualitative interviews to help identify areas where action can happen.
