BASF to publish CO2 footprint of all products
29/07/2020
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) comprises all product-related greenhouse gas emissions that occur until the BASF product leaves the factory gate for the customer, from the purchased raw material to the use of energy in production processes.
Chairman Dr Martin Brudermüller said: “Sustainability and digitalisation are core elements of our corporate strategy, which we are consistently implementing.
“By calculating the CO2 footprint, we bring both together and create much greater transparency for our customers regarding the specific emissions for each BASF product. This enables us to develop plans together with our customers to reduce CO2 emissions along the value chain up to the final consumer product.”
BASF will start with selected product and customer segments in the coming months and plans to make PCF data available for the entire portfolio by the end of 2021.
