Transparency on greenhouse gas emissions
A product carbon footprint (PCF) shows how many greenhouse gas emissions a product is responsible for over its life cycle. The resulting measures for climate protection, resource efficiency or cost reduction can be applied in many areas.
This white paper provides you with a compact overview of the most important steps in creating a PCF and the requirements of recognized general standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the ISO 14067 standard and industry-specific standards such as Together for Sustainability, as well as many other tips for application.
“With the creation of the PCFs by the experts at ÖKOTEC, we have taken an important step towards achieving our sustainability goals, which will also benefit our customers along the entire supply chain.”

In this compact guide, you will learn how to approach the creation of a product carbon footprint:
Recognizing climate risks, taking advantage of opportunities: The expansion of ISO 50001 to include climate issues strategically strengthens companies. In this interview, Johannes Höpfner and Seyma Evli explain how this change can be achieved and why now is the right point in time.
While many companies are already making progress in recording and reducing their direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), Scope 3 emissions still represent a challenge for many companies.
