Comparison of objectives/expectations (1)
PAS 2050
internal assessment of life cycle GHG emissions of products;Facilitates evaluation of alternative product configurations;Benchmark for programmes aimed at reducing GHG emissions; Allows for comparison of goods and services;Supports reporting on corporate responsibility;Provides a common basis for reporting and communicating life cycle GHG
emissions;Provides an opportunity for greater consumer understanding of life cycleGHG emissions
WRI/WBCSD
Guidance for companies and other organizations to prepare an inventory of emissions associated with a product;
Primary purpose to support public reporting of product life cycle GHGemissions to help users reduce these emissions;
Public reporting refers to providing emissions-related information for a product,in accordance with the reporting requirements specified under the standard;
Standard
does not directly enable comparative assertions or product labeling;
Is not intended to support the accounting of GHG emission offsets or claims of carbon neutrality;

Comparison of objectives/expectations (2)
ISO
Benefits organizations, governments, project proponents and stakeholders byproviding clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting andverifying the carbon footprint of products;
Part 1 specifies principles and requirements for studies to quantify CarbonFootprint of Products (CFP), based on the method of life cycle assessment
(LCA);Part 2 specifies
requirements for the development of information to communicate thecarbon footprint of products, calculated according to Part 1 of ISO 14067;
Guidelines how to use such information on the CFP;

Harmonization
Harmonization: common goal for PAS2050,
WRI/WBCSD & ISO
Focus on requirements
Also relevant: principles; terms & definitions;
verification
Means of harmonization
Limits of harmonization
Added value of more than one approach

Role of CFP
Refers to the calculation of the amount of GHGemissions associated with a company, event, activity,or the lifecycle of a good/service,Enables to ascertain and manage GHG emissions
along the supply chain
Safeguards the survival of companies in the changingregulatory and economic business landscapeFurthers the understanding of the risks and
opportunities in the supply chain Allows to focus effort in response to new regulatory,shareholder and consumer pressures

Challenges - CFP
Basic challenge: – right balance between practicality – environmental
integrity/credibility
–Role of PCRs
–Timing
Harmonization WRI/WBCSD – PAS2050 – ISO 14067
–Common basis: Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040)
– ISO: also ISO 14020 (labelling) and ISO 14064(verification)

Vision and realities
Transition to a zero/low-carbon society impliesthat the CFP of all products and services have tobe managedEconomic crises offers a unique opportunity to
restructure the supply chains of productsBottom-up efforts along supply chainscomplement top-down efforts at national andinternational levelReducing the risks of climate change may require
negative global GHG emissions after 2050
