Guide 8 steps to the product carbon footprint

Product Carbon Footprint - Greenhouse Gases

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.
