4th PCF World Summit 20-21 October 2010 Berlin
Carbon Footprinting: From Standardisation to Communication Advancing GHG emission reductions in the value chain
4th PCF World Summit, Berlin, 20-21 October 2010
Background
Managing and reducing GHG emissions in the value chain requires commonly accepted metrics to increase efficiency and build credibility with stakeholders. The past years have been largely dedicated to building global standards for the measurement of product related GHG emissions. Particularly the international standards WRI/ WBCSD GHG Protocol and the ISO 14067 standard “Carbon Footprint of Products� are moving closer to completion. Furthermore, significant developments are taking place in different countries that will shape the practical implementation of product carbon footprinting in the future.
Updates on latest developments in product carbon footprint standardisation and related country and regional initiatives will be featured on Day 1 of the 4th PCF World Summit.
From Standardisation to Communication
However, reducing GHG emissions in the value chain additionally requires close collaboration and effective communication with supply chain partners and with consumers. The international agenda on adequate communication measures is still progressing. Carbon labels were an early answer to this request and related programmes are continuously being refined. Other approaches range from new forms of consumer engagement to radical transparency in supply chain related environmental and social information. On Day 2 of the 4th PCF World Summit the prevalent issue of consumer communication and engagement will be dealt with in interactive workshops, presentations and discussions.

The Value of Transparency Daniel Goleman Author of “Ecological Intelligence: How knowing the hidden impacts of what we buy can change everything”
09:30 Debate: Does Carbon Labelling Work? Carbon Labelling is a controversially discussed issue. It is often either seen as a very powerful instrument for driving low carbon production and consumption. Or it is seen as requiring valuable resources without doing any good - or worse, perhaps actually being counterproductive to the original goals. In a classic debate style we will exchange and discuss arguments PRO and CON carbon labelling.
PRO: „There is clear evidence that Product Carbon Footprint labels help reduce greenhouse gas emissions across product lifecycles.“ Euan Murray Carbon Trust, UK
CON: „Research shows that Product Carbon Footprint labels potentially confuse and mislead consumers.“ Gabriela Fleischer ANEC Environment Working Group

4th PCF World Summit, Berlin, 20-21 October 2010 Summit Background The PCF World Summits are bi-annual events organised by the PCF World Forum, a joint platform set up to foster and facilitate dialogue between international initiatives on how to assess, reduce and communicate the impact of goods and services on the climate. The consumption of goods and services indirectly contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions. Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the impact of their products on the climate and environment in general. They are also needed to provide consumers with information on a product’s climate impact to help them make climate-conscious purchase decisions. A growing number of initiatives in different countries are addressing this issue by developing standards for assessing carbon footprints and the overall environmental performance of goods and services. Working towards a global standard has become a matter of urgency. The summit marks a unique opportunity to take account of recent developments and future prospects in international harmonisation and in communication of product carbon footprints. The PCF World Forum was initiated by the Berlin based think-do-tank THEMA1. The previous PCF World Summits attracted interest and commitment from more than 250 stakeholders from 30 countries and stimulated wide-ranging discussions. Both summits are fully documented. Complete DVDs and individual presentations are available for a nominal fee at www.pcf-world-forum.org For the last two years the PCF World Forum has brought together international stakeholders including senior executives from: ADEME Adidas AENOR Aeon Group AkzoNobel Alfred Ritter Alnatura American Center for Life Cycle Analysis Austrian Federal Environment Ministry Barilla BASF Beiersdorf BIO IS Bombardier Boots BP British Embassy British Telecommunications Carbon Fix Standard Carbon Trust Coca-Cola Consumers International Coop Danone Deloitte Det Norske Veritas Deutsche Post DHL DIN / NAGUS Dole DSM Dutch Horticulture Board Ecofys Ernst & Young European Climate Forum European Commission Evonik Degussa Finnish Meteorological Institute First Climate Group French Sustainable Development Ministry FRoSTA
