The Asociación Huella de Carbono (AHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against climate change. Its mission is to be the digital benchmark in carbon footprint management, connecting virtual volunteers and companies through training, online resources and remote consulting, driving effective and sustainable decarbonization in their activities.

Dedicated to the fight against climate change, it provides its services at no cost to society thanks to non-profit volunteer organizations and citizens who work for free in favor of a decarbonized society.

As an NGO: we support citizens, organizations, professionals and small and medium enterprises to measure the impact of carbon footprint according to the legislation of local standards, generate a report, an action plan and registration in the defined institution, especially those who do not perform processes.

The problem

Global Warming

The planet's temperature is increasing under the current conditions of greenhouse gas generation, causing climatic catastrophes and serious damage to society.

Costs

The measurement and generation of action plans is mostly done at the level of specialized private actors, which represents a high cost of the measurement and action planning exercise for small organizations.

Challenge 2030 and 2050

Europe has set a goal of reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality by 2050. As citizens and organizations, we must contribute to this effort by better measuring our emissions, setting realistic goals, and turning those goals into action.

Know how to do

There is a GAP of knowledge and measurement tools and simple solutions for society to address the problem in a structured way.

Tools and cooperation

Measurement tools are not designed for all levels of knowledge and there is no structured cooperation between groups with the same problem (e.g. neighborhood communities, schools, associations).

Complex Tracking

We are all required to meet the EU’s 2050 targets, to develop plans, document them, and monitor them so that we can demonstrate our effectiveness. Since these are multi-year plans, monitoring becomes more complex.

Help to solve the problem

Carbon Footprint Association

Summary of activities 2025

Based on key activity indicators, the Carbon Footprint Partnership has experienced exponential growth and unprecedented technical consolidation between the close of 2024 and the close of 2025. The evolution of the results in four strategic axes is detailed below:

1. Human Capital and Volunteer Community

The heart of the association has grown steadily, strengthening its operational capacity:

  • Historical Volunteers: The number of volunteers has increased from 364 to 451, which means the incorporation of 87 new collaborators to the mission.

  • Average Active Force: The total number of trained and active volunteers has grown from 160 to 217 people (including members), ensuring a solid technical structure.

  • Levels of Specialization: The progress in training levels is noteworthy; whereas in 2024 we had 117 volunteers at the highest level (N2/N3), in 2025 we reached a total of 196 volunteers at the advanced N2/N3 levels, ensuring the quality of our technical advice.

2. Educational Impact and Campus Excellence

Training has been the area of greatest expansion, thanks to the implementation of the new campus in March 2025:

  • Global Reach: The number of people trained has more than quadrupled, from 266 people in 14 countries to 1,140 people in 24 countries, completing a total of 1,387 courses.

  • New Audiences: The new campus has raised awareness among 585 citizens and 122 entities in just a few months.

  • Training offer: The number of courses available in the catalog has grown from 4 to 11, doubling the number of training hours, from 1,365 to 2,765 hours.

  • Perceived quality: Despite the massive increase in the number of students, the average level of satisfaction has risen from an excellent 8.26/10 to an outstanding 9.28/10.

3. Climate Results and Technical Maturity (Projects and CO2)

The ability to transform theory into measurable climate action is reflected in the increase in projects:

  • Project Management: The total number of carbon projects has risen from 112 to 196. Particularly relevant is the growth in projects completed by the entities themselves, from 34 to 85.

  • MITECO registration: Projects that have successfully completed official registration and compensation have increased from 70 to 94.

  • Measurement and Reduction: A total of 28,878 t CO2 eq have been measured, achieving a projected actual savings of 4,331 t CO2 eq thanks to the agreed reduction plans (15% on average).

  • Offsetting and Reforestation: The number of offset metric tons has increased from 20,764 to 22,840. This roughly translates to a regenerative impact of 37,580 trees planted and 229,238 m² reforested cumulatively by the end of 2025.

4. Digital Transformation and Collaboration

The association has optimized its processes by adopting advanced technologies:

  • Digital Interaction: Internal activity has increased dramatically, from 1,900 to 3,238 Teams sessions and from 38,944 to 61,932 chats, optimizing team coordination across 24 countries.

  • Technological evolution: The basic tools (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, LMS) have been joined in 2025 by cutting-edge solutions such as OpenAI, Gemini, Web Tools developed by AHC, ExeLearning, Faradai.ai and Nocarbon.ai, allowing a much more efficient management based on artificial intelligence.

This balance at the end of 2025 confirms that the Association has not only grown in volume, but has also improved its technical efficiency and the quality of its social and environmental impact.
