Stop Using Default Values: The Real Cost of CBAM — And a One-Time PCF Path
Default values aren't a shortcut under CBAM—they often raise tax, increase audit risk, and slow shipments. Here's a practical alternative: build a once-and-reusable product carbon footprint (PCF) model.
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF): Meaning, Methods & When You Need It
A practical PCF guide: what it means, where it's used (CBAM, EPDs, buyer requests), how to calculate it under ISO 14067 & the GHG Protocol, when you need it, and how Climate Seal helps—with sources.
ISO x GHG Protocol: One playbook for carbon accounting is coming
ISO and GHG Protocol are aligning standards and co-developing a joint PCF rulebook, reducing duplication and audit uncertainty. Expect cleaner supplier data exchange and easier assurance.
Why a Carbon Footprint Label Drives Real Reductions Across Your Supply Chain
Putting a carbon footprint label on pack—with a clear functional unit, boundary, verification, and a QR-linked disclosure—does more than inform consumers. It aligns procurement, design, and logistics on measured hotspots, enabling year-on-year reductions and avoiding greenwashing. Here's how to do it right, and when to consider Eco-score or a broader environmental footprint label.
Digital Product Passport: Linking Your Carbon Footprint Label to EU ESPR Compliance
The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) makes Digital Product Passports a reality. This guide shows how to design a carbon footprint label and the QR disclosure so they plug cleanly into a DPP—covering data models, unique identifiers, carriers (QR/NFC/RFID), verification, and go-live timelines.
