abstract = {The first ecological footprint calculation version, applied to companies, appeared in 2003. The said tool provides the possibility of
calculating the total impact of a company or organisation in hectares or in equivalent emissions of CO2. This paper updates carbon
absorption rates and improves electricity consumption conversion factors, one of the major footprint generating consumptions in
companies. The new rates prove that the footprint estimated to date will be notably increased as, among other aspects, the IPCC
has downgraded the amount of carbon that forests are capable of absorbing. These data reveal that companies must make a great
effort to adapt to the challenges triggered by climate change.},
