On June 11, 2025, UVP TECHNICOM in Košice became a hub where sustainability met business. The seminar Carbon Footprint – From Calculation to Savings showed entrepreneurs that environmental responsibility doesn’t have to be just an obligation—it can also be a path to greater efficiency and profit.
Organized within the EEN network, the seminar attracted 18 representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Its aim was to demonstrate that calculating a company’s carbon footprint (Scopes 1–3) can be both simpler and more rewarding than expected.
JUDr. Ing. Vladimír Hrivnák, LL.M., from consulting firm NORTHON, guided participants step by step—from identifying emission sources to discovering cost-effective measures with fast return on investment. The session was packed with practical examples of common inefficiencies and advice on how to turn them into advantages.
EDIH Cassovium presented its portfolio of digital solutions for sustainable business during the opening session, alongside UVP activities supporting entrepreneurship and regional digital transformation.
Although calculating a carbon footprint is not yet mandatory for SMEs, market pressure from customers and partners is growing. That’s where the opportunity lies—to be one step ahead.
