Question 3

A _________________ measures the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by people and organizations.



Answer : A

Question 4

A carbon footprint does not consider the output of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride.



Answer : B

False. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus defines a carbon footprint as measuring all major GHGs, including CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6. Excluding these would misrepresent emissions, countering CSR monitoring goals.

Question 5

The proliferation of global logistics networks has put increasing pressure on resources and the environment.



Answer : A

True. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus notes that expanding global logistics increases resource use (e.g., fuel) and environmental strain (e.g., emissions), a key CSR concern. Monitoring these pressures drives sustainable practices.

Question 7

In terms of packaging environmental standards, what does EPR stand for?



Answer : C

EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility, a policy requiring producers to manage the environmental impact of their products, including packaging, throughout their lifecycle. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus identifies EPR as a critical standard in sustainable warehousing, ensuring accountability for waste management.
