There is a growing recognition that Product Carbon Footprints or PCFs are effective tools for companies to track and manage their corporate carbon footprint. To accurately assess total emissions, companies need to go beyond high-level organization-wide data from suppliers and obtain precise information about the products they purchase. This is where PCFs come in.
Companies can use PCFs to understand the emissions they are inheriting with the products they purchase, and to create decarbonization strategies with their suppliers.
But to fully embrace the power of PCFs, organizations must rethink their approach to creating and utilizing them.
Historically, creating a PCF has been anything but simple. The process required significant time and expertise, along with a serious investment, making it accessible only to a select few organizations and thus limiting their overall effectiveness. Even when companies did invest in PCFs, they often treated these documents as static reports, limiting their usefulness over time.
Traditionally, created a PCF commonly took one of two paths:
Once completed, these reports became static artifacts. Updating a PCF to reflect new data or changes required starting the process anew, consuming additional resources and creating bottlenecks in decision-making.
