Implementing the International Standards: Building Credibility in Carbon Footprint Information The climate change challenge is a complex one. It demands a thorough understanding, targeted measures and collaboration from science, politics, consumers, business and civil society alike. Companies have begun WR UHà HFW WKHLU RZQ UROH DQG EXVLQHVV XQGHUstanding and action has grown over the past years. The business imperative for climate protection measures and also its implications for brand and product development however differ from conventional market competition. The customers’ point of view is an important one and customers are clearly an important driver in the (still to be achieved) transition to a low carbon society.
However, in product and business development for a low carbon society a robust link must be established to the greater challenge of climate change. It is important to unanimously show how the product or business under consideration contributes to tackling it – in a comprehensive manner and beyond the recognition of the respective customer base alone. It is hence essential to build a common language around the challenges we face, the options we have and the decisions we want to make as individuals and as society. This common language is not sector, comSDQ\ RU SURGXFW VSHFLÀF $QG LW LV QRW LQ WKH sphere of business or politics alone. On the
basis of a common language, we then need to build the metrics to manage the challenge. The international standards for carbon footprinting provide an important basis for this common language and unifying metrics. With the release of the GHG Protocol Product and Scope 3 standards this year and the ISO 14067 “Carbon footprint of products� by next year a major step has been taken.
With the advent of a diversity of business approaches to climate change and the need to ÀQG SUDFWLFDO VROXWLRQV QRZ LW LV LPSRUWDQW WR strengthen credibility and trust in carbon footprint information used and provided: For customers, end-consumers and stakeholders; for their use in marketing claims and corporate communication; and in the underlying data infrastructure.

Past Activities of the PCF World Forum PCF World Summits
About the PCF World Forum 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 general environment. They are also needed to provide consumers with information on a product’s climate impact to help them make climate-conscious consumption decisions. The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum is a neutral platform to share practical experiences and knowledge towards climateconscious consumption and production. The international platform provides orientation in current standardisation processes and creates opportunities for discussing international corporate best practices and emerging tools to support low carbon and climate-conscious consumption models.
about each other given the ever increasing number of initiatives around the world and often little real understanding of respective approaches and activities. Over the past years representatives from a range of organisations and initiatives have come together at the PCF World Summits, PCF World Forum Update Workshops and dedicated Dialogue Fora Low Carbon Society to give insights into their own work, discuss and interpret current developments and explore possible common pathways. The PCF World Summits have stimulated several working groups such as the current Task Force on international harmonisation of Product Category Rules and concrete cooperations among participants. www.pcf-world-forum.org
The PCF World Forum was created out of the ambition to talk with each other and not just

Footprinting: From Analysis to Action
The GDI is also a meeting place; it hosts leading thinkers and decision-makers at its conferences, collaborating with them to develop new ways of thinking and forward-looking ideas. It organises events around current topics chosen with a broader public in mind and offers its spaces and infrastructure for external events. www.gdi.ch
Ecological footprinting and environmental life cycle assessment are essential in both supporting decisions and monitoring success. 20 years ago, WWF has started promoting and using them: 1992, in the realm of the earth summit taking place in Rio, WWF, together with other Swiss NGOs, distributed 700’000 footprint questionnaires. The initial questionnaire was developed to assess both energy use and greenhouse gas emissions that are FDXVHG E\ WKH VSHFLÀF OLIHVW\OH RI LQGLYLGXDOV However, we used only the version with energy accounting accepting the fact that carbon footprinting was way off what regular citizens were ready and able to deal with. Only recently these indicators started to become widely known and more popular. &DUERQ IRRWSULQWLQJ KHOSHG WR JHW WKH ÀUVW OLIH cycle based labels on products and a large number of companies got more familiar with their supply chain impacts and the true impacts of their products. Today, such once voluntary and information only instruments are more and more introduced in legislation. WWF believes that we enter now the stage where regulations and standards on the one
side and incentives on the other side need to mainstream the concept and pave the way for measurable action. Within the new Swiss CO2 law for instance, the parliament may agree this summer to allow companies – if they wish – to use carbon savings in the supply chain or increased product performance to IXOÀO WKH FRQGLWLRQV WR JHW H[HPSW IURP WKH carbon tax. Such a system is common practice in the Netherlands already for many years and contributed to its leadership in ecodesign. Carbon footprinting can’t cover all risks and can’t make life cycle assessment or ecological footprinting redundant. Still, carbon footprinting is the guideline to a smaller carbon footprint of the world. To reach this truly vital goal, we need to see many promising movements to turn the knowledge of few experts into action by many. The way to this end is still stony and long – the PCF World Summit may help to overcome some of these stones and obstacles. Hans-Peter Fricker CEO of WWF Switzerland

Carbon Footprinting in Emerging Economies and International Trade
Open Space Discussions
▶ Break Out Group Debate: The Credibility and Relevance of Carbon Offsetting Carbon offsetting is considered by many as an important and reasonable measure for reducing GHG emissions and contributing to climate change mitigation and has thus entered business climate strategies. There are however also voices that question the integrity and relevance of offsetting as a measure to “balance” actual emissions in value chains. In a special break out group during the open space discussion rounds the advantages, disadvantages and challenges of carbon offsetting will be debated and implications for business climate strategy considered.

Need Over the past few years, supply chain sustainability and climate change management have become a high priority in the public and private sectors worldwide.
1) GHG Protocol Product Accounting and Reporting Standard, and 2) Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.
With this new sense of urgency, and a need for a common approach to address these concerns, many companies, governments, and other civil society stakeholders are working with the GHG Protocol to develop standards on value chain and life cycle GHG accounting.
Through the direction of the international experts serving on the steering committee and technical working groups, the insights from over 60 road testers, and feedback from a stakeholder group of over 1,400 individuals, the standards provide practical and scientifically-sound frameworks to drive strategic decision making in value chains across the world.
The Solution
The Vision
Building on the success of the Corporate Standard, the GHG Protocol launched a process beginning in September 2008 to develop international standards for measuring and managing GHG emissions across
Our vision is that by 2015, hundreds of companies around the world will adopt the new GHG Protocol standards to publicly report their product and corporate value chain emissions, and use the results of the inventories to drive transformative change in how they manage and mitigate global GHG emissions.
corporate and product value chains. The publications represent the work of a global, multistakeholder process including businesses, policymakers, and other experts. The initiative will publish two new standards in 2011:
About GHG Protocol The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the most widely used international accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. The GHG Protocol is working with businesses, governments, and environmental groups around the world to build a new generation of credible and effective programs for tackling climate change.

Who can prepare the best and most climate friendly food? At each Summit, a different Chef has the task of preparing a gourmet dinner that is not only vegetarian, but also seasonal and regional, to demonstrate how delicious low carbon cuisine can be. No meat needed for connoisseurs. This year an exclusive dinner is prepared by Peter Gamma, a member of the Slow Food Movement, who has many years of experience with seasonal, regional and more sustainable cuisine.
Welcome to the guild house “Zur Saffran” This year, the dinner takes place at the guild house “Zur Saffran”, the traditional meeting place of Zurich traders and wholesale merchants since 1445. Today the guild "Zur Saffran" has approximately 180 members. The city of Zurich has been profoundly influenced by its guilds and their impact on politics and society.

Product Category Rules (PCR) Task Force
PCF Product Exhibition
Companies across all sectors increasingly assess and communicate the environmental and climate impact of their goods and services. To achieve comparability in results, XQLIRUP DQG VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F PHWULFV DUH QHHGHG International standards for product carbon footprinting (PCF) such as the GHG ProtoFRO 3URGXFW 6WDQGDUG RU ,62 ŕĄ?&DUERQ footprint of productsâ&#x20AC;&#x153; are currently developed and will provide basic rules for the assessment and communication of PCF results. However, various assumptions still need to be made in each assessment of a carbon footprint or full LCA.
The International PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) Product Exhibition was launched at the 3rd PCF World Summit in Berlin, March 2010. It is a continuously growing collection of products from different regions of the world, allowing the visitors to follow up on international developments in PCF declarations. So far the exhibition and its catalogue include more than 100 products from seven different initiatives: CFP Project Japan; Carbon Trust,
'XH WR WKH ODFN RI VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;FLW\ 3&)V IRU LGHQWLcal products may therefore still lead to incomparable results. The major standards hence refer to the use of Product Category Rules 3&5V ZKLFK SURYLGH D VHW RI VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F UXOHV for the assessment of a product in a certain product category or sector. PCRs are traditionally developed by industry groups and/ or national EPD programs. Many business associations are currently developing PCRs
or are planning to do so. As a consequence, often many different rules exist for a certain product category internationally. The increasing uptake of product carbon footprinting and the application of the new standards further contributes to this situation. As a result, a company that wishes to assess the carbon footprint of a certain product may be confronted with a range of different possible PCRs. Also many product categories share the same underlying processes such as transport or agriculture.
United Kingdom; Casino, France; Climatop, Switzerland; KEITI, Korea; PCF Project, Germany and TGO, Thailand. Still, this collection is only an extract of the worldwide activities in product carbon labelling. Therefore we kindly invite initiatives, producers and retailers to keep us updated on developments and to contribute further and new products with declared carbon footprints for display to the international PCF community.
The PCR Round Table hosted by the PCF World Forum works towards global alignment of product category and sector rules. The Task Force includes members from the World Resources Institute, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, JEMAI, GEDnet, Environdec, the French Environmental Ministry, defra, the American Center for Life Cycle Assessment, Earthster and is facilitated by Mark Goedkoop from PRĂŠ and Rasmus Priess from the PCF World Forum.
Voices Various stakeholders from all over the world meet at the PCF World Summits. Each participant contributes a unique perspective and adds expertise and experience. To catalyse the ongoing debate we interview our guests to share their opinion on four particular questions. The result is an evolving library of thoughts and personal commitments towards sustainable and climate friendly production and consumption. Find the four questions on the back of this companion and the statement videos on: www.pcf-world-forum.org/statements

International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD)
Nature & More Trace and Tell System, The Netherlands
The ILCD consists primarily of the ILCD Handbook and the ILCD Data Network. The ILCD Handbook is a series of guidance documents that provides a common basis for consistent, robust and quality-assured life cycle data and studies in support of life cycle based public policies and industry applications, including product carbon footprinting. The upcoming ILCD Data Network is open to data sets from all interested providers internationally that wish to give access to their data upon own license conditions and via their own web-servers, with quality and consistency requirements derived from the ILCD Handbook.

PCF Project Germany The PCF Project Germany was launched in 2008 in a joint cross-stakeholder and cross-sector effort to assess and inform emerging methodologies for product carbon footprinting and their suitability for consumer communication purposes. Basis is the detailed analysis and understanding of the GHG emissions associated with individual products. Results and reccomendations have been publicly documented and fed into the international standardisation efforts. From the PCF Project the Platform for Climate Compatible Consumption Germany emerged which brings together organisations and companies from a range of sectors and backgrounds to address GHG emissions in global value chains and in consumption. www.pcf-project.de
