A Social Entrepreneurship Perspective of De-Carbonising the Footprint through Recycling Compensation: A Case Study of the NGO Madre Coraje

This research analyses the carbon footprint of the NGO Madre Coraje, using an integrated methodology that combines the calculator provided by REAS (Red de Economía Alternativa y Solidaria) Navarra and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). It quantifies emissions across the three scopes of the Greenhouse...
