Leverage an ISO 14067-compliant Scope 1-2 allocation model to create synergies with the Corporate Carbon Footprint, manage product variants, and generate a PCF balance.
”Thanks to the simplicity of the tool, PCF STARTER is recommended for all manufacturers who want to start with product-specific carbon accounting. The tool is great to identify emission hotspots.”

Implementation, regulatory details, and more. You can find the answers to all of this here.
Is the PCF also relevant for the CSRD?
The CSRD requires comprehensive information on the environmental and social impacts of a company. Companies that calculate a PCF for their products can use this as a basis for more targeted reduction measures.
What are the benefits of a certifiable PCF?
A certifiable PCF offers companies credibility and transparency as it is externally validated according to recognized standards. This creates market advantages, fulfils reporting obligations, minimizes risks and enables a detailed analysis of emission sources, which contributes to improving the climate strategy.
Which information / data do I need for the PCF calculation?
When calculating the PCF, it is important to consider the entire life cycle of the product and to use high-quality and reliable data.The data required here is primarily the material used, process steps within production and the emissions generated during transportation of the products.
Why do customers request PCFs?
Customers request PCFs to understand and reduce the environmental impact of their supply chain, meet sustainability targets and legal requirements such as the CSRD, and meet increasing market demands for climate-friendly products.
What is the difference between CCF and PCF calculation?
A PCF only looks at individual products and follows different principles than the CCF, which looks at the entire company and all activities. We offer PCF as an add-on module to our main CCF module. As we use the overlapping database of CCF and PCF, Tanso's solution saves time and costs when calculating PCFs.
What is the difference between PCF and LCA?
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) records the greenhouse gas emissions of a product, either for specific phases such as “cradle to gate” or over the entire life cycle (“cradle to grave”). The life cycle analysis (LCA) evaluates all environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gases, water consumption, resource use and air pollution, over the entire product life cycle.
