How a Product Carbon Footprint supports your Climate Strategy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)<\/strong> measures the greenhouse gas emissions of a single product throughout its entire life cycle\u2014from raw material extraction through production and distribution to use and disposal. It thus serves as the foundation for credible climate communication at the product level.<\/p>\n

There is still no general legal requirement to calculate PCFs. Nevertheless, they have long been a decisive factor in securing contracts: customers are increasingly requesting them in tenders, industry standards such as Catena-X (automotive) or the TfS PCF Guideline (chemicals) require them, and life-cycle analyses are also an integral part of sustainability strategies for legally compliant implementation of the EU Taxonomy.<\/p>\n

We take the complexity off your hands. Using our top-down method<\/a>, we identify the relevant emission sources along the value chain, systematically close data gaps, and quickly deliver a robust, audit-ready Product Carbon Footprint. Scientifically sound and proven for over 25 years.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/3″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-info” align=”center” background_style=”rounded” color=”black”]
