Abstract

Climate change has an extensive impact on human life. The increase in earth’s temperature does not only have an impact on rising temperatures but also changes the climate system, which affects various aspects of nature and human life. The attempt to restrain the pace of climate change cannot only be carried out by the state without the involvement of all parties. Over the past few decades, the palm oil industry has shown significant growth, especially in Indonesia. To deal with problems and issues of environmental damage caused by the palm oil industry, especially the high carbon footprint, a method or tool is needed to measure the organisation’s environmental impact. This study aims to calculate the Carbon Footprint generated in the business processes of a palm oil company as a trigger for global warming and climate change. The result of this research will be presented in the form of the carbon footprint on a palm oil agro-industry company’s business process, which are then analyzed using Pareto diagram to obtain the priority of process improvements that will be carried out.
