Together for Sustainability (TfS) is a global non-profit association of > 60 leading companies committed to creating sustainable, transparent supply chains in the chemical industry. One of TfS goals is to understand, measure, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all business levels, guiding the entire industry toward a future-oriented and climate-friendly value chain.
The chemical industry is responsible for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions – with 77% of these emissions falling under Scope 3.1, i.e., originating within the value chain. Increasing regulatory requirements and societal expectations have amplified the need for accurate, comparable, and exchangeable GHG emissions data.
TfS aimed to close this gap by establishing a unified approach for PCF calculation and creating a secure, efficient platform for exchanging emissions data across the value chain, empowering companies to actively pursue and achieve their climate goals.
In collaboration with TfS and partners such as SiGreen (Mattermaps), we supported the development of an end-to-end approach to PCF calculation and exchange – both technically robust and organizationally scalable. Our contribution included:
The long-standing collaboration and knowledge sharing among 57 companies and over 200 professionals from different fields turned the project into a true success story. Numerous online and in-person meetings and workshops across Europe helped develop solutions tailored to the specific needs and challenges of the chemical industry.

PCF Exchange Solution (leveraging SiGreen) – Secure PCF data exchange and intelligent emissions management across supply chains
Thanks to the successful collaboration with TfS and the participating companies, we have contributed to the developmentof a solution-oriented platform that not only brings more transparency to Scope 3 emissions in the chemical industry but also paves the way for a more sustainable and climate-friendly future. The introduction of the PCF Guideline and the PCF Exchange Solution marks another milestone toward a future-proof, sustainable industry contributing to the achievement of the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.
