PCF - Product Carbon Footprint

PCF – Product Carbon Footprint:

Measure. Identify hotspots. Drive decarbonization.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) measures total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated across the entire life cycle of a product.

From raw material extraction to production, transport, use, and end-of-life. PCF provides companies with clear, quantified insight into where emissions occur and how they can be reduced, enabling data-driven climate action, regulatory compliance, and stronger market positioning.

  • Quantified product-level carbon footprint (CO₂e)

  • Identification of emission hotspots across the life cycle

  • Support for decarbonization and Net Zero strategies

  • Compliance with ISO 14067, GHG Protocol, CSRD, CBAM, Ecodesign, DPP

  • Stronger position in sustainable supply chains and procurement

  • Transparent and credible communication with customers and stakeholders

  • Verified product carbon footprint (CO₂e)

  • Clear emission hotspot analysis

  • Support for Net Zero and decarbonization strategies

  • Compliance with ISO 14067, GHG Protocol, CSRD, CBAM, Ecodesign, DPP

  • Stronger position in sustainable supply chains

  • Credible climate communication and reportin

  • Manufacturers — to understand and reduce product emissions

  • SMEs & suppliers — to meet customer and supply-chain (Scope 3) requirements

  • Large companies — to support decarbonization, Net Zero, and CSRD reporting

  • Exporters to the EU — for CBAM, Ecodesign, and Digital Product Passport readiness

  • Product & sustainability teams — for data-driven design and climate strategy

  • Companies in sustainable markets — to communicate credible product carbon data

How PCF is developed

01

Define scope and product system

We define system boundaries, functional unit, and life-cycle stages (cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave). This ensures alignment with ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol Product Standard.

02

Collect life-cycle data

We gather primary and secondary data on materials, energy use, manufacturing, logistics, packaging, use phase, and end-of-life. Reliable data is the foundation of a credible carbon footprint.

03

Calculate carbon footprint

Using verified emission factors and LCA databases, we calculate total GHG emissions expressed in CO₂-equivalent (CO₂e) and identify emission hotspots across the value chain (Scope 1, 2, and product Scope 3).

04

Interpret and reduce

We translate results into actionable insights — identifying reduction opportunities in materials, energy, design, and supply chain. The PCF supports decarbonization strategies, customer requirements, CBAM/CSRD alignment, and transparent communication.
