Together for a Decarbonized Future
The Carbon Footprint Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and promoting actions to combat climate change. It helps citizens, businesses, and institutions measure, reduce, and offset their carbon footprint. Its mission is to foster a culture of climate responsibility by providing practical tools and knowledge to support the transition to a low-carbon future. The Association’s network includes a large group of trained volunteers, hundreds of citizens, and a wide range of stakeholders, such as businesses, municipalities, universities, and nongovernmental organizations. By connecting these actors, it creates a collaborative ecosystem aligned with European and global climate goals.
The Carbon Footprint Association has been named a Partner of the European Climate Pact as an organization committed to climate action and promoting change to help build a more sustainable future. Visit the EU website.

To which groups and individuals do we direct our activities?
The Association aims with the help of Volunteering, to help manage the carbon footprint to all groups: citizens and entities and especially those who lack the means and knowledge to launch a plan for measurement, reduction and voluntary registration of the carbon footprint in the MITECO. Take advantage of the opportunity.

⊕ Our Reason for Being
At the Carbon Footprint Association we believe that all individuals, companies and organizations have the right to actively participate in the fight against climate change, regardless of their economic resources, educational level or geographical location.
That is why we have set ourselves a clear mission:
to help those who need it most understand, measure, reduce, offset, and communicate their carbon footprint, guiding them step by step along this journey.
Often, those most committed to the planet lack the necessary tools to act effectively.
In other cases, no one has simply explained to them how to get started.
Our commitment is with them: with the invisible citizens, with the small entities, with the collectives that see themselves as incapable in the face of ecological discourse, with those who want to act but do not know how.
⊕ No one is left out
We know that the ecological transition will be just or it will not be.
That is why we offer:
-
Free and accessible training, from the most basic to the most advanced levels.
-
Trained volunteers who accompany and guide with closeness and humanity.
-
Open, easy-to-use and empowering digital tools.
-
A virtual campus where thousands of people learn every day how to reduce their impact.
-
A human, emotional and motivational approach that connects inner change with external impact.
In every activity, every class, every tutoring session, every project, there is a clear message:
“You’re not alone. We can help you. And your actions, no matter how small they may seem, make a difference.”
Because climate change cannot be fought only with big speeches, but by adding thousands of small gestures with meaning.
Welcome to a community that believes in the power of people.
Yours, too.

MITECO Records
With more than 500 volunteers trained over the past four years and an average of 150 active volunteers, we have successfully carried out more than 218 projects to support organizations.
Demonstrating our interest in and commitment to a more decarbonized society for everyone.
A key objective of the Carbon Footprint Association is to contribute to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere and therefore has an ambitious plan to help organizations, training of citizens and reforestation by planting trees and reforestation of areas to be recovered, joining the efforts of all entities and citizens to help them to decarbonize.
Since 2022, the Association and several partner organizations have funded or supported forest planting and restoration projects. When these projects do not generate certified and retired carbon credits, they are presented as contributions to restoration, not as carbon footprint offsets.
In our case, with the collaboration of volunteers (500 to date) and the 220 companies we have assisted with their carbon footprint plans, andas part of our activities through 2026, we have achieved the following with the help of the companies that have taken action: Plant 63,528 trees and reforest 381,188 square meters, which could absorb up to 22,840 metric tons of CO2.
We also provided support to 218 entities, of which 102 chose to register with MITECO, with 30,489 tCO2eq measured in the projects and reduction plans, representing an average reduction of 12% (4,226 tCO2eq).
We were able to carry out all of this activity thanks to the automation and digitization of the organization’s tools, which have already published and updated 5 tools (4 calculators and 1 reduction plan), which will be joined this year by other useful resources to help citizens and businesses manage their carbon footprint.
For the 2026-H2 plan we have a sustained ambition and hope to be able to continue contributing to CO2 capture and forest regeneration, development of the Campus for training and new tools for all.
If you are interested in participating in the idea and that your organization participates in this activity, contact us and we will explain the options of how we help citizens, companies through the volunteering proposal and then you choose.
Thank you for your help
How the whole process works: Measure-Reduce-Register
Your interest to act is what moves you, discover how if you are a Citizen or an Entity you can start your steps to improve your environmental performance whether you are a Citizen or an Entity.
Our path: from interest to climate action
It all starts with a spark: an interest in understanding our impact on the planet. From there, we accompany you step by step on a transformative journey:
- First we measure / teach you how to measure your carbon footprint, then we help you to reduce it with concrete actions, we register it in a clear and transparent way, and when necessary, we guide you to offset it responsibly. But it doesn't stop there: we also give you tools to communicate your progress with pride, inspiring others.
- And the most valuable thing: we learn with you every step of the way. Because every climate action, no matter how small, leaves a powerful lesson.
- This is our commitment: to help you move from "I don't know where to start" to "I am also part of the solution".
Change the world: Get trained and learn how to manage your personal carbon footprint; if you'd like, you can continue by volunteering.
Transform Your Business: Request a free carbon footprint management project, and we’ll help you with everything from training to measurement, reduction, and registration with MITECO
Change the world: Learn how to help other citizens and organizations create EcoGestures and put them into practice in a 100% digital environment, at your own pace.
