Common challenges with
Product Carbon Footprints
Scattered product data
The data you need to calculate Product Carbon Footprints is spread across Excel files, ERP systems, and emails. Where do you even start?
Missing supplier data
You haven’t requested data from your suppliers yet or the data you received isn’t usable. You’re unsure how to close these gaps.
Lack of transparency
You’ve gathered data using different tools, but can’t properly assess it or understand how the results were calculated.
One central data foundation for your product requirements
Instead of using isolated tools, structure your data once and use it for PCF, Digital Product Passports, PPWR, PFAS, and other requirements.
Structure product and supplier data in one central system
Consolidate product, material, and supplier data in a structured data foundation — instead of across Excel, ERP systems, and isolated tools.
This creates the basis for reliable calculations and consistent product information across all applications.
- One consistent data structure across all products
Capture and use supplier data systematically
Request data from your suppliers in a structured way and receive usable, standardized information from your supply chain without manual handoffs.
Instead of manual coordination and rework, integrate supplier data directly into your calculations.
- Standardized supplier requests and data collection
Create PCFs and make results fully transparent
Generate reliable PCFs and Digital Product Passports directly from your data foundation and meet customer requirements.
All results are fully traceable and can be clearly explained to customers, auditors, and internal stakeholders.
- Fully auditable and reproducible results

Product Carbon Footprint at Brückner Maschinenbau GmbH
Challenge: Calculating Product Carbon Footprints for complex machine structures with highly fragmented data and a large number of components.
Solution: Establishing a central data foundation for product, material, and supplier data to enable scalable PCF calculations.
Result: Significant reduction in manual effort and the ability to reuse established processes and product-specific results for Scope 3.1 and future PCF calculations.

The PCF comprises the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by a product in the various phases of its life cycle. We calculate the product carbon footprint according to the cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave approach.
A PCF solution is particularly relevant for manufacturing companies with complex supply chains and increasing requirements for sustainability data.
Typical use cases include:
- Suppliers in industrial and automotive supply chains
- Companies with a high number of product variants
- Organizations that need to meet requirements such as CSRD or the Digital Product Passport
To calculate an initial PCF, you need basic information on:
- Materials and components
- Production processes
- Energy consumption
- Transport routes
In practice, this data is often scattered or incomplete. A structured approach allows you to start with the data you already have and gradually improve it over time.
Missing supplier data is the rule, not the exception.
In such cases, you can start by working with average values or external databases. At the same time, suppliers can be gradually integrated to improve data quality over time.
The key point: you can get started without waiting for complete data.
Yes. A pragmatic approach is key to making progress.
Instead of waiting for perfect data, many companies start with the information available and gradually build and improve their data foundation over time. This allows you to generate initial results quickly and refine them step by step.
The level of effort depends largely on your current data availability and product structure.
In most cases, companies start with a clearly defined use case and build from there. A structured approach is key, leveraging existing data and expanding it step by step, rather than starting from scratch.
Product Carbon Footprints are typically calculated based on established standards such as:
- Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG)
- ISO 14067
These standards ensure that results are comparable, transparent, and auditable.
Yes. A structured data foundation enables multiple use cases beyond PCFs.
This includes:
- Digital Product Passports (DPP)
- Regulatory requirements such as ESPR or CSRD
- Customer-specific sustainability requirements
The key advantage is that data is captured once and can be reused across multiple applications.
