Measure and manage product carbon footprints

Create an immediate, visible link between product cost and CO2e emissions. By aggregating product carbon footprint emission factors along the value chain, you can identify the most important levers that will yield the greatest savings. Then, you can analyze the impact as a trade-off between the product carbon footprint, profit margin and customer value.
