Carbon Footprint (CF)

Product Carbon Footprint is the calculation of the environmental impact of products from multiple sectors according to ISO 14067. The contribution of raw material extraction, planning and design, manufacturing, transportation/delivery, use, and end-of-life treatment phases to global warming is measured by accounting both emissions and removals involved in the production processes, providing insights into optimization pathways, as well as opportunity for emissions’ reduction, process efficiency improvements, and competitive advantages in resources’ utilization.

Corporate Carbon Footprint refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by a company’s operations, including direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect energy-related emissions (Scope 2), and other indirect emissions across the value chain such as capital goods and end-of-life treatment of sold products(Scope 3). Measuring and managing CCF enables businesses to identify key emission sources, set reduction targets, and implement effective strategies to minimize their climate impact while aligning with sustainability commitments and regulatory requirements.

The Corporate Carbon Footprint is necessary to develop a CO₂ target and a reduction pathway for a comprehensive sustainability strategy.
For the CO₂ balance of companies, all relevant greenhouse gas emissions within a reference period, are considered. The methodological procedure is based on internationally recognized standards (ISO 14064, GHG Protocol, CDP, GRI).
