Why Choose a Carbon Footprint Study?

A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), also known as a CFP study, offers a clear view of your product’s contribution to climate change by measuring greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) throughout its life cycle. Based on the ISO 14067 standard, this approach focuses specifically on climate change as an impact category, making it the most efficient and targeted method for businesses aiming to cut CO₂ emissions.

It allows you to:

• Quantify the carbon impact of your product or service

• Identify hotspots for emissions reduction

• Meet stakeholder and customer expectations on climate transparency

Who Benefits from a Carbon Footprint Study?

Companies looking to reduce GHG emissions
Get a precise breakdown of your product’s emissions and identify the areas with the highest reduction potential.

Manufacturers considering material or supplier changes
Understand how changes in your value chain will affect carbon output, and select the most climate-friendly options.

Organizations pursuing climate goals
Use the carbon footprint as a documentation and strategy tool to support your journey toward net zero and beyond.

When Is a Carbon Footprint More Relevant Than an LCA?

• Focused climate analysis
  If your primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a carbon footprint is the most direct and relevant metric - focusing solely on global warming potential.

• Carbon accounting and reporting
  If you need to report CO₂ emissions for climate targets, CDP disclosures, or customer requirements, a PCF provides the necessary data in a standardized format.

• Market expectations
  For many sectors, carbon footprint is the most visible and demanded metric. Focusing only on this indicator can save time and resources compared to full multi-impact LCA studies.
