One of the biggest challenges was data granularity, especially when it came to collecting and accessing detailed information. Through close coordination with VERSO, we found practical solutions and are now working together on continuously improving our data quality, including the creation of a PCF.

PCF: From black box to solid decision-making foundation

Product Carbon Footprints are increasingly being requested – by regulations, customers, partners and consumers. Anyone offering products must be able to provide and explain their carbon footprint. 

But the implementation is complex: Many tools only generate static PDF reports – the calculation logic remains non-transparent. Isolated solutions prevent integration into the broader sustainability management system.

On the other hand, reliable data for sound decision-making is lacking – and it’s not always clear, how supply chain and processes impact climate targets.

Save 85% of your time on data uploads and emission factor searches

Calculate Your PCF with VERSO

We simplify the process: With the integrated PCF module and hands-on consulting, you gain a true lever for transformation – enabling sustainable product design, strategic management, regulatory compliance and access to new markets.

CSV upload of Bills of Materials (BOMs)

Seamless import of Bills of Materials and supplier data

A single PCF is manageable – hundreds of them are the real challenge. With the CSV upload, that’s exactly what becomes easy: import complete Bills of Materials and supplier data in one step to create a consistent foundation – scalable across entire product portfolios.

  • Get started right away with a practical sample file
  • Suitable for all life cycle phases
  • Updated data automatically syncs to the Climate Hub
  • Ideal for large Bills of Materials and complex supply chains
  • Automatic validation ensures data accuracy and consistency

Find the right emission factors with a single click

Automated AI mapping of emission factors

The days of tedious manual searches for emission factors are over: the Smart Emission Factor Module takes care of the complex mapping process for you. Your only task: review the results. This saves time, minimizes errors, and ensures reliable data quality.

  • AI-based suggestions for matching emission factors plus four alternatives
  • Search by weight, volume, quantity, or country information
  • Relevant reporting year transmitted automatically
  • Mapping quality clearly indicated
  • Complete documentation including source, description, and year
