Because of increasing concern about climate change and carbon emissions as a primary contributor, many companies and organizations are pursuing “carbon footprint” projects to estimate their contributions to global climate change. Calculating the carbon footprint is fundamental to understand how a company or organization’s activities impact global sustainability. The main challenge is how to calculate it when environmental aspects are intangible assets. This study aims to identify the frequency of carbon footprint emitted by geodetic engineers from San Ildefonso, Bulacan when they are conducting site surveying activities. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive review if GE’s from San Ildefonso, Bulacan are high contributors of emitted carbon using statistical data, a review of ground improvement methods that have been studied to reduce the carbon footprint, and the direction in which geodetic engineering should proceed in the future.
