An integrated approach for calculating product CO2e footprint and cost along the entire value chain enables companies to make trade-off decisions between driving down CO2e emissions, reducing product costs, and addressing customer value demands.
By creating a visible link between product cost and product carbon footprint, companies can identify the most important levers that will yield the greatest savings and implement those first. They can analyze the impact as a trade-off between the product carbon footprint, profit margin, and customer value.
Companies can do all sorts of product carbon footprint calculations and what-if simulations in the product development phase, looking at the different levers to evaluate trade-offs and take the right decisions.
