description Climate change is presented as one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Being able to measure their progress, setbacks and opportunities is key to generating effective strategies in organizations. The Carbon Footprint is an indicator capable of providing this information. Quantification permits the calculation of direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases. That is why this article you can recognize a strategic nature, whose content is not intended to delve into the theoretical concepts but give practical guidelines necessary for a company to be able to justify initiating and interpreting projects management and calculation of carbon footprint in organizations and products. The results provide the seed needed for any business to have its environmental assessment for emissions of greenhouse gases. Keywords: Carbon footprint, Life-cycle assessment, environment.

Ser capaces de medir sus avances, retrocesos y oportunidades es clave para poder generar estrategias efectivas en las organizaciones. La Huella de Carbono es un indicador capaz de aportar esta información. Su cuantificación permite el cálculo de las emisiones directas e indirectas de gases de efecto invernadero. Es por ello que este artículo se le puede reconocer un carácter estratégico, cuyo contenido no pretende ahondar en los conceptos teóricos sino dar las pautas prácticas necesarias para que una empresa sea capaz de justificar, iniciar e interpretar proyectos de cálculo y gestión de la Huella de Carbono en organizaciones y productos. Los resultados aportan la semilla necesaria para que toda actividad empresarial pueda tener su evaluación ambiental relativa a las emisiones de gases del efecto invernadero Palabras clave: Huella de carbono, análisis de ciclo de vida, medioambiente.
