Frequently Asked Questions

A product carbon footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, use, transportation, and disposal of a product. Investing in a product carbon footprint has evolved from a voluntary exercise to a business-critical capability. Mandatory customer requirements and emerging regulatory disclosures are driving many companies to invest in this information. Understanding your product carbon footprint enables:

  • Customer Retention & Growth: Meet the increasing number of customer requests for product-level emissions data—now a standard requirement in many procurement processes
  • Competitive Positioning: Differentiate products in markets where sustainability is a purchasing criterion
  • Scope 3 Reduction Strategy: Identify the specific product components and processes driving your value chain emissions
  • Regulatory Compliance: Prepare for product-level disclosure requirements emerging in California (SB 253) and the EU (CSRD, Deforestation Regulation)
  • Supply Chain Engagement: Provide suppliers with specific, data-driven targets for emissions reduction rather than vague sustainability requests

We use established methodologies, such as those outlined in the GHG Protocol, to calculate the carbon footprint of products.

Understanding product carbon footprint helps organizations identify opportunities to reduce emissions, meet customer requests, improve sustainability, and comply with regulatory requirements.
