Carbon footprint of our productsfrom raw material extraction to leaving our premises
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) determines the climate impact of each of our products. We consider their “cradle to gate” lifecycle, meaning that we calculate the generation of harmful greenhouse gases from the raw materials or bought-in parts of the product to the point when it leaves our company. The calculation is made using a software tool developed by “denkstatt” based on the ISO 14067 (Product Carbon Footprint) and ISO 14040/44 (LCA = Life Cycle Assessment) standards.
The introduction of the Product Carbon Footprint of our products once again demonstrates our commitment to transparency and environmental awareness. It serves as a benchmark for developing new products and as a point of reference for defining our corporate strategies. Moreover, it highlights the potential for improvement. Customers who have to comply with environmental requirements when implementing their projects can therefore establish at first glance whether a product meets the criteria in the particular case.
