Product accounting with Sustainable

Product accounting: Where your products stand today - and how they can be better tomorrow

Holistic environmental assessment along the life cycle

We record the environmental impact of your products along the entire value chain - from raw material extraction to disposal. We not only take CO₂e-emissions into consideration, but also factors such as water consumption, land use, ozone depletion potential and much more.

Your benefits at a glance:

Comprehensive analysis: from upstream processes to use & recovery

Identification of reduction potentials: Informed scenarios & hotspot analyses

Strengthening the circular economy: Evaluating resource use and recycling

Clear added value for your stakeholders: robust data for communication & strategy

Our methods:

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) according to ISO 14067 & industry standards

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to ISO 14040/44

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) according to EN 15804 & ISO 14025

Development of training concepts and method documents, to internalize the assessment methods

Derivation from internal Guidelines for internal knowledge anchoring

Development of information materialsfor internal and external communicationproduct communication

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF): Understand climate impact & reduce emissions in a targeted manner.

Quick start & resilient results

We report the CO₂e-Footprint of your products along the entire value chain. From pragmatic initial analyses based on existing data to detailed calculations including your production and energy data.

Your benefit:

Precise CO₂e-Evaluation according to ISO 14067, PACT, TfS, Catena-X or other industry standards

Uncover reduction potential as a basis for product optimization

Scalability & digitization with the help of data architecture and derivations for the automation of PCF-calculation

Safe basis with the support of a certification process

Our approach:

Derivation of market requirements and accompanyingi n the selection of a suitable product for accounting (e.g. customer enquiry, optimization potential)

Execution of Kick-Off-Workshops with knowledge building regarding the method

Structured accompaniment of the data collection with templates

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Capturing environmental impacts holistically, controlling decisions in a targeted manner.

Systemic analysis of the environmental impact of your products

An LCA is the most comprehensive approach for analyzing the environmental impact of products. It considers not only the greenhouse gas potential, but also impacts on soil, water and human health - across all phases of the product life cycle, from raw material extraction and production through use and disposal. We also support you with certification processes by independent third parties.

Your benefit:

Holistic environmental assessment according to ISO 14040/44

Well-founded basis for decision regarding product development and optimization, product design, material selection and processes

Early preparation for regulatory requirements (e.g. Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, EU-Deforestation Regulation)

Strengthen your sustainability communication through resilient & certifiable data

Our approach

Common target definition with project partners (e.g. product optimization, customer enquiries, external communication)

Kick-Off-Workshop with method introduction and project setup

Structured accompaniment regarding the data collection templates

Execution of the calculation based on recognized standards in an LCA software

Transfer & interpretationof the results until the project completion date (optional with external verification)

Base your decisions on well-founded life cycle assessments to create more sustainable products with a long-term perspective.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD): Transparent environmental performance, certified and internationally recognized.

Standardized Environmental impact of your producte
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides a transparent and comparable presentation of a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. It is based on internationally recognized standards such as EN 15804 and ISO 14025 and is audited and certified by independent third parties.

Ihr benefit:

Certified transparency based on ISO 14025 & EN 15804 with an objective presentation of the environmental impact of your products

Competitive advantage through credibility and market acceptance

Compliance with regulatory requirements regarding international environmental standards

Strengthening your brand and customer loyalty with credible communication

Our approach:

Target definition & selection of the Product Category Rule (PCR; e.g. construction, packaging, chemicals, etc.)

Kick-Off-Workshop to define the normative requirements

Execution of the life cycle assessment in the LCA-software as the basis of the EPD

Creation of the EPD-Documentation

Accompaniment at assesment & certification by independent third parties

Communicate environmental impacts transparently with an EPD as strong evidence.
