Compliant with standards. Strategically actionable. Scalably implemented.
Customers, regulators and investors increasingly demand reliable evidence of the environmental impacts of individual products – evidence that credibly demonstrates the achievement of climate targets at the product level.
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) are the central instruments of product accounting. They capture and evaluate a product's environmental impacts across its entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction through disposal. However, organisations face the challenge of mapping their often emission-intensive, complex supply chains on a data-driven basis and correctly applying industry standards (e.g. Together for Sustainability, Catena-X).
Incomplete data sources, inconsistent system boundaries and varying assumptions can lead to results that are open to challenge – creating risks in audits, customer enquiries and regulatory evidence. Robust product accounting creates the foundation for sustainable product development, credible communication and strategic decision-making certainty. Together with you, we define the right entry point and your individual maturity level.

Organisations that build reliable product accounting today secure market share, meet tender requirements and create the data foundation for a credible sustainability strategy.
Efficiency & Cost Reduction: Systematic product accounting generates reliable metrics that allow you to identify efficiency levers in material, energy and waste streams and reduce them strategically. We link product accounting results with financial metrics to support strategic management decisions.
Regulatory Security: Compliant product assessments prepare you for upcoming product regulations, reduce legal risks and simplify compliance obligations. Through our work with leading-edge standards (e.g. VDMA, TfS, PACT Framework, Catena-X), we deliver audit-ready results from the outset and transfer this exclusive knowledge directly to your processes.
Competitive Capability & Customer Loyalty: Validated PCF/LCA evidence meets tender and customer requirements, secures contracts and opens sustainable market segments.
Let’s discuss which opportunity is currently a priority for your company.
We combine in-depth expertise in product life cycle assessment (PCF/LCA) with practical experience in corporate carbon footprinting (CCF) and SBTi targets. Whether it’s an initial pilot calculation, methodological guidelines or tool selection – we work with you to develop the solution that best suits your requirements, your data situation and your level of readiness. In this way, we ensure that your product metrics align perfectly with your overarching corporate strategy.
We carry out practical PCF and LCA calculations (ISO 14040:44, 14067) for selected products or product groups, either using Excel or in collaboration with software providers. The aim is to produce robust assessments that comply with standards and are audit-proof. The results highlight emission drivers and hotspots in the supply chain and provide initial, concrete options for action to achieve reductions. You will receive clear documentation of the results, which can be used directly to meet customer requirements and for reporting purposes. You will receive clear documentation of the results, which can be used directly to meet client requirements and for reporting purposes.
We develop a company-specific PCF/LCA methodology guideline that translates relevant industry standards (e.g. TfS, Catena-X, VDMA) into consistent, practical rules for your reporting. The guidelines set out binding system boundaries, allocation principles, data quality requirements and assumptions. This enables you to establish a repeatable, comparable and auditable basis for calculating the environmental impact of all your products.
We not only provide methods and results, but also train your teams. Our training programmes, tailored to specific target groups, enable your staff to carry out PCF/LCA calculations independently, interpret the results and derive appropriate measures. The programme ranges from compact awareness workshops to practical LCA sessions using your own data, right through to train-the-trainer formats for internal knowledge transfer. All participants receive practical tools, checklists and templates for immediate use.
We provide manufacturer-independent advice on the selection and integration of suitable PCF and LCA software solutions, ranging from practical Excel-based tools to scalable SaaS platforms. Based on your data, IT infrastructure and scalability objectives, we carry out a fact-based comparison of options, oversee pilot projects and support implementation as well as data integration with a view to future automation. The result: a robust, needs-based tool architecture that enables reliable reporting, consistent data quality assurance and automated workflows.
With validated product evidence, you reliably meet tender and supplier requirements and position yourself as a trusted partner. This strengthens customer loyalty, increases your attractiveness in sustainable markets and creates the foundation for long-term, strategic partnerships.
Translating corporate objectives into concrete product metrics makes your sustainability targets measurable, comparable and manageable at the product level. This allows you to strategically prioritise investments and efficiency levers where they deliver maximum CO₂ and resource savings – in full alignment with Scope-3 and SBTi targets.
By building internal processes, methodology guidelines and trained teams, product accounting becomes a lasting core competency of your organisation. You reduce external dependencies, increase efficiency in data collection and create the foundation for continuous improvement of your product sustainability.
