Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)
In the Corporate Carbon Footprint all greenhouse gas emissions from a company over the course of a year are recorded and summarized as part of CO₂ accounting. The individual CO₂ footprint is an important, useful instrument for evaluating the company’s impact on climate. The CO₂ footprint means suitable reduction targets and measures can be derived, then shown in the sustainability report.
In addition, the CO₂ footprint means it is possible to quickly see which company areas release the most greenhouse gases and therefore where there is most potential for measures to reduce it. This is also of great importance in economic terms as the biggest drivers of emissions are also often the biggest cost drivers within a company.
The Corporate Carbon Footprint, which is recorded regularly, is therefore a key indicator in determining the progress and success of a company’s commitment to sustainability.
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), which is the CO₂ footprint of products covers the accounting of greenhouse gas emissions along the entire service life of a specific product.
The Product Carbon Footprint takes a holistic perspective that applies from procurement of raw materials to delivery (“cradle-to-gate) and may also even take the service life and disposal of the product (“cradle-to-grave”) into account.
The CO₂ footprint of your products can also be determined from your company’s CO₂ accounting. This makes it possible for CO₂ emissions to be quantified based on products or orders and also to itemize customer orders or services in terms of their CO₂ emissions. As a company, you then provide your customers with the capability to contribute to climate protection in a targeted manner.
