TP 2.10 Carbon Footprint Management
Due to regulatory requirements and sustainability goals, the demands on corporate CO2 reporting are increasing. As of today, calculating the CO2 footprint is complex and lacks standardization. With the FX data space solution, manufacturing companies can calculate the CO2 footprint of their products based on a standardized set of rules, while simultaneously identifying opportunities to sustainably reduce their footprint.
The FX-Solution in detail
- Standardized determination of a machine’s consumption contribution to the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of a part produced on it
- Aggregation of production contributions to the PCF of a product (Cradle to Gate)
- Calculation of logistics contributions at the product level
- Cross-company PCF management (upstream/downstream)
PCF Framework
Using the standardized set of rules, along with improved interoperability and continuity of tools, you reduce the complexity of processes and manual tasks involved in calculating the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This results in cost reduction and, consequently, increased profitability. Additionally, the standardized calculation allows for comparability of PCFs across companies.
Portfolio Expansion
As a machine manufacturer, you can expand your solution portfolio by adding additional software applications, enabling users of your products to transparently display their CO2 footprint. By providing the framework for easily determining the contribution of your machine to the footprint of the parts produced on it, you help users increase their efficiency, build trust, and strengthen customer loyalty to your company.
