Carbon Emissions Calculator for Retail Stores

If your company is evaluating construction for a new physical store, consider a virtual store location as a more sustainable alternative. This Carbon Emissions Calculator for Retail Stores assesses your potential carbon footprint for a physical retail store, versus your projected carbon footprint for a virtual retail store.

METHODOLOGY & DATA CITATIONS

Carbon emissions calculations are based on initial construction and one (1) year of operations for both brick and mortar and virtual stores. Outbound product shipments are not included in the calculation. Corporate employee and office operations have also been excluded from the calculation.

At Obsess, we believe in transparency and accountability. That's why we've included a list of all the sources we used to create our emissions calculator, as well as the formulae for calculating emissions from both physical and virtual retail stores. If you're interested in learning more about the methodology behind our calculations, you can view the details here.
