Product Carbon Footprint & Lifecycle Assessments
Challenges Faced by Businesses
In today's rapidly evolving market, businesses face several challenges when it comes to verifying the carbon footprint and sustainability of their products. Consumers expect that the products they purchase demonstrate progress in terms of the carbon footprint quantity – and that businesses are actively pursuing sustainable goals to risk mitigation, value creation, cost reduction within supply chain and commitment to shareholders.
Consumers demand that the sustainable claims attached to products purchased have been independently verified, through proven industry methods – for example accepted ISO standards within the 140XX family of protocols – ensuring comprehensive sustainability assessments, meaning that businesses have adopted robust verification processes supported by innovative data carriers, which provide customers with complementary yet easy to understand information about product sustainability credentials.
