While a Company Carbon Footprint (CCF) measures the emissions across your entire business, a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) focuses on the carbon impact of a single product across a set boundary. My Emissions’ PCF assessment boundary is cradle to point-of-sale, covering the lifecycle from raw materials to point of sale.
When to Use CCF vs. PCF
CCF is ideal for understanding and managing emissions across your whole business. It’s the go-to choice for setting company-wide sustainability targets and aligning with regulatory requirements.
PCF is valuable if you want to assess and/or communicate the carbon impact of specific products or dishes. For food companies, PCF can help you understand the impact of individual ingredients or packaging types, and influence new product development (NPD).
How They Work Together
Both footprints offer unique perspectives on your emissions: while a CCF helps you address company-wide emissions, a PCF lets you focus on specific products, helping you make decisions like choosing more sustainable ingredients or packaging options. My Emissions offers expertise and resources for both CCF and PCF, allowing you to take a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
