Product Carbon Footprint Training

As part of our carbon footprint management services SGS offer training sessions that enable you to calculate the carbon footprint of your products, put reduction strategies in place and demonstrate the green credentials of your business.

Policy makers worldwide have set goals and incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers are  increasingly aware not only of their own carbon footprint, but also that of the products and businesses they use. As a result it is important for your business to develop a carbon reduction strategy to ensure you comply with regulations and demonstrate your green credentials.

SGS Product Carbon Footprint training can be your first introduction to product carbon footprinting and can help your company to identify changes needed to reduce the carbon emissions of your products.

Life cycle approach to product carbon footprinting (PCF)

Our PCF awareness training course introduces you to product carbon footprinting. We look at background, drivers and initiatives, such as the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2050 standard, which was developed to provide a guideline to calculate emissions over the life cycle of a product.

We also look at the upcoming ISO 14067 standard, which will be used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions released by products, as well as regulation changes and initiatives, such as the future French ecolabel legislation.

Our training offers a practical session where we do a walk-through case study of the process. In doing so we look at how the process can benefit your company and we touch on how  to enhance environmental efforts of the company to consumers.

As a long-standing supplier and developer of sustainable solutions our training helps you to implement sustainability throughout your policies, products and supply chain.
