Product Carbon Footprint<\/span>
\nThe CO2<\/sub>e-Footprint for your product<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The PCF creates a product-specific CO\u2082e footprint based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard. Emissions are determined throughout the entire product life cycle and can be mapped from cradle to gate or cradle to grave, depending on the objective. The PCF creates transparency about emission hotspots and forms the basis for evidence-based product decisions and reduction measures.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Your advantages of a<\/span>
\nproduct-specific footprint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n <\/div> <\/div>\n
\n
\n
    \n
  1. Identification of savings potential:<\/strong> A PCF identifies emission- and cost-intensive materials, processes, and supply chains, enabling targeted optimizations.<\/li>\n
  2. Competitive advantage:<\/strong> The reliable presentation of environmental data builds trust among customers, business partners, and investors and facilitates access to sustainability-driven markets and tenders.<\/li>\n
  3. Future-oriented product development:<\/strong> PCFs provide the data basis for product development and strategic business decisions. They support innovation, regulatory compliance, net-zero roadmaps, digital product passports (ESPR), and targeted decarbonization measures.<\/li>\n
  4. Meeting specific customer requirements:<\/strong> PCFs enable the structured provision of emissions data to customers and business partners and support integration into Scope 3 reporting along the supply chain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1<\/div>\n

    Kick-Off<\/h3>\n

    At the start of the project, we clarify your expectations and objectives for PCF accounting together. You will receive an introduction to the calculation methodology as well as a presentation of the data entry screen, which serves as the basis for data collection. <\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n

    \n
    Step 2<\/div>\n

    Data acquisition<\/h3>\n

    Together, we compile all relevant data and information for the PCF calculation. We maintain an iterative exchange to ensure complete coverage and answer open questions. <\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n

    \n
    Step 3<\/div>\n

    Accounting<\/h3>\n

    Based on the data collected, we create the product-related CO\u2082e balance sheet based on the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG).<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n

    \n
    Step 4<\/div>\n

    Result and outlook<\/h3>\n

    Finally, we present the results and identify the biggest sources of emissions. From this, we derive general reduction measures and discuss further steps to optimize your climate strategy. <\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
