Overview
Distinct from Corporate Carbon Accounting, the Product Footprint product focuses on calculating and reporting the environmental impact of individual products that are produced within a company.
While Corporate Carbon Accounting uses the methodology of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, Product Footprint uses the methodology of the GHG Protocol Product Standard. This may be relevant to organizations that produce physical goods and are interested in understanding the lifecycle emissions of the products they produce, from raw material extraction, manufacturing & processing, transportation & distribution, usage, and end of life.
Add-On Module
CarbonSuite offers the Product Footprint feature as an add-on module to the Corporate Carbon Accounting Product. This add-on module leverages the following data from your ERP and other systems:
- The “Corporate Carbon Footprint” (energy consumption, business travel, refrigeration, etc.) from CarbonSuite’s Corporate Carbon Accounting module
- Raw material purchases on vendor bills and other purchase transactions
- Transportation & distribution data from item receipts, transfer orders, and item fulfilments
- Production data from work orders
- Product usage and end of life data tracked at the item level
CarbonSuite allocates data from these and other data sources to create a “Lifecycle Bill of Materials (Lifecycle BOM)” for items that you produce. This “Product Footprint” can give you insights about the environmental impact of your products. It can also act as a data input for value chain surveys that you receive (i.e. if your customers or suppliers request this data).
CarbonSuite will generate the Product Footprint and add a link on Invoices you send to customers. You can even configure it to show on customer-facing invoices so they can automatically see the emissions associated with their purchases.
