From product impact to Scope 3
Make the CO₂ impact of purchased products measurable and use product data directly for your value chain emissions and reduction plans.
The full life cycle in view
- Raw materials and production The emissions of materials and production processes.
- Transport to the site The impact of transport to the project location.
- Construction and installation The impact of installation, construction and material loss.
- Use stage Impact during use, maintenance, replacement and energy consumption.
- End of life Demolition, transport, waste processing and disposal.
- Beyond the system boundary Potential benefits and loads of reuse and recycling.
What does LaaS deliver?
- A PCF per product, in kg CO₂ equivalent per functional unit.
- Insight into the emissions per life cycle stage, so you can improve in a targeted way.
- Product-specific emission factors as input for a more accurate Scope 3 calculation.
From product data to your Scope 3 reporting
Combine the right product emission factor with the quantity purchased and the relevant transport and process data. This gives a better substantiated calculation of your value chain emissions, with insight into concrete reduction opportunities.
Please note: not every life cycle stage automatically counts towards the same Scope 3 category. Module D is reported separately and not added to the product PCF.
