2 | Foreword

From Environmental Footprinting to Implemen­tation: Renewable Energy in the Value Chain Climate change received wider attention from businesses after it topped the ­public agenda in 2006. Companies began to explore their own role in causing but also in mitigating climate change, beyond their influence on political decision making as “corporate citizens”. Energy and transport efficiency had of course been addressed ­before, for cost reasons but also as a mea­ sure to reduce ­climate and environmental impacts. What was lacking, was a recognised possibility to put these efforts into perspective: How important are certain emission reduction measures in relation to the overall impact of providing a certain good, service or product portfolio to the market?

This perspective was provided by taking a life-cycle approach to understanding the GHG emissions associated with goods, ­services and now also full value chains (Product and Value Chain Carbon Foot­ printing) and agreeing on common rules for their quantification and communication, manifested in the GHG Product and Scope 3 Protocol and the upcoming ISO 14067 stan­dard. These standards now provide a valuable basis for companies explaining their GHG reduction efforts to stakeholders – and for knowledge building in society. Going beyond these general carbon footprinting standards, particularly with respect to the ambition to compare the climate impact of

products across companies and for understanding trade-offs with other environmental and social challenges, methodologies need are now refined further. The former is being done in the form of product rules for ­different product categories (commonly referred to as Product Category Rules or PCRs) and the latter in the form of environmental foot­printing methodologies, such as those being pursued by France and the European ­Commission. These developments have been followed closely and discussed at previous PCF World Summits and will be so in the future.

While understanding and demonstrating the origin of GHG emissions and other environmental impacts is important (especially for collective decision making), this of course does not do the job alone. It is equally important to thoroughly pursue those inter­ ventions that promise the greatest return and absolute reductions in GHG emissions and other ­environmental impacts. And while the best approach and life-cycle stage may vary widely from company to company and product to product (as demonstrated in carbon footprint studies), the general direction is pretty clear. Human-made GHG emissions (and in fact a number of other environmental challenges) are caused foremost by ­burning fossil fuels and by land-

use change (in ­particular ­deforestation). To limit the climate and environmental impact of the global production and consumption of goods and services, one could therefore turn the ­question around: Instead of asking to what extent GHG emissions are caused by a certain product or company, one could ask instead how the use of fossil fuels and deforestation is limited (and replaced!) along the full life cycle of the product or company, giving additional guidance on where to look for emission reduction opportunities, which may otherwise remain hidden in a carbon footprint – behind emission factors used for electricity consumption or land-use change and allocated to certain life-cycle stages.

Major companies embrace this perspective by pursuing ambitious renewable energy and natural resource targets. For the PCF World Forum, two questions are of ­particular significance: how are renewable energy and natural resources treated in carbon and ­environmental footprint assessments and in communication (and eventually ­stan­dards)?

And how are initiatives and companies ­treating and pursuing increased use of renewable energy and natural resources in products and value chains?

The role of business towards 100 % renewable energy Industrial manufacturing and general business and office activities are responsible for around half of all power consumption in more industrialised nations, but have an even higher share in emerging economies.

Many manufactured products are traded beyond the regional boundaries. Hence, the share and absolute amount of freight transport, particularly on the road and in shipping, is growing steadily with an ever more globalised world. Many traded products consume energy in one way or the other.

Some are more efficient than others. In any case, the energy footprint of companies reaches much beyond their direct manufacturing footprint.

Although our global Clean Energy Vision for 100% Renewables by 2050 is comprehensive on all sectors of energy, we focus primarily on power consumption (and production). Business power demand is crucial. But we need to differentiate clearly, Those corporates that are energy-intensive, the large energy consumers such as steel and chemical sector, are usually the most opposed to enhanced renewable electricity purchase because they assume lowest costs by long-term-contracts (LTC) and PPA for conventional energy sources such as coal, gas and nuclear where utilities often provide much more favourable offers per kWh consumed than for captive customers.

Yet, companies with a clear business-toconsumer and brand value outreach may also consume large amounts of electricity in total, such as globally active retail or food companies, but are much more sensitive

to reputational issues and often can easily afford larger purchase of ‘costly’ renewable power. Also because their energy consumption per unit turnover is much lower than that of the classical energy-intensive industries.

WWF is strongly in favour of legally-binding targets for renewables as the primary delivery mechanism, but in the absence of those and in the presence of weak objectives, voluntary and additional actions by the market leaders will pull the sector and push policy to start legislating more ambitious targets in order to also cover the laggards.”

Melt! Festival

Groove to Save the World?

Looking at the bigger picture is essential in times of crisis – social and climate change have their place at festivals and on the music industry’s agenda, believes THEMA1’s managing director Jacob Bilabel, founder of the Green Music Initiative.

Europe is burning. The financial crisis seems to be devastating our societies at a pace no one would have thought of some years ago.

All over the world people are gathering in the Occupy movement to stop this system from destroying our countries and our solidarity.

It’s not easy talking about climate change these days. Nonetheless, I am sure the changing climate is a symptom of what lies at the very heart of the problem: The illusion that industrial growth is infinite, that ­resour­ces are limitless. And that we can carry on forever with ‘business as usual’.

I started my career as a manager for one the biggest majors in the music industry. At the time, people could already foresee what digitisation would mean for the business. But most of us decided to believe in the fairytale I have mentioned: nothing would be big enough to shake our world, we would not

need to change our way of doing things. We can now see what effect this denial has had on today’s music industry. I regularly meet people who don’t believe in ­climate change at all. It’s the same kind of mentality I witnessed in the music business ten years ago. The more nihilists I meet, the less I care about changing their minds. Instead I ask them the following questions: Do you have the courage to think about social change? How will we live in the future? What will it look like? How can we accelerate our societies moving towards more sustainable lifestyles?

Right now, I don’t see a lack of science-based evidence and innovation. But over the years, the behavioural gap has increasingly turned into a behavioural valley. How do we cross the bridge between what we know we should do and what we do for real? The ­challenge of social change is a complex one. It demands a thorough ­understanding of what’s going on around us as well as co­operation between science, politics, ­consumers, business and civil society alike. It is therefore essential to create a common language around the challenges we face, the ­options we have and the life we want to live as ­individuals and as

a society. In this ­regard, we should develop a new Low Carbon ­Culture.

To make this happen, we need a large-scale social experiment. An experiment with the power to produce role models, dreams and questions that can pave the way into a lowcarbon future. The music and entertainment industry has a global reach and can unleash imagination and passion like few other industries. A festival is by definition a social experiment. Fans attend festivals to experiment with new forms of sound, visuals, stimulants and love. At best, festivals are a celebration of life itself. Why not add sustainable innovation to that list? And this is happening right now: At this year’s GO (Green Operations) Group meeting, big festivals from all over Europe gathered for the first time to exchange ideas and inspire change towards greener production practices. And an impressive list of members came together: Scandinavians like Oya (Norway), Roskilde (Denmark), Ilosaari (Finland) and Way Out West (Sweden) met with the crazy guys from Boom (Portugal), Wacken and Tollwood (Germany) to develop smarter, greener ways together. Glastonbury (UK) shared best practises with PinkPop, Nature One, Rock am Ring (Germany) and St. Gallen (Switzerland). Hurricane, Rhein­ kultur and Melt! (Germany) provided insights into their greening efforts. Smarter alterna-

tives in energy production, mobility and waste reduction will be showcased at festivals all over Europe during the 2012 festival season.

The organisers will guide their visitors towards climate-friendly alternatives and lead with positive examples and practical solutions.

By being responsible and taking action, relevant actors in the music industry can ­become role models and pave the way for ­vital climate protection measures. This way of thinking would create a demand-andsupply chain of innovative and sustainable strategies that make sense – both from a climate and from a business point of view.

The Green Music Initiative’s effort to green the industry is a truly pan-European ­approach – our aim is to build on existing and create new synergies. We have a clear understanding that business as usual will no longer be possible. There’s no time to lose, but so much to win for everybody. And maybe we can help to form a new common vision for the global change that’s necessary.

Please be part of this amazing journey: let’s groove to save the world.

Using the Gift of Beauty Climate change is a unique opportunity to rethink everything, also their design.

Each energy system goes with a corresponding electricity grid – Lucile Barras, project manager at THEMA1, envisions the power grid for a renewables’ future.

On the way to a climate-friendly world, the radical transformation that is needed provides us with a unique opportunity to rethink and improve our habits and systems.

In the area of infrastructure, where changes are made to last decades, we are shaping the world of 2050 by building its foundations today. Thus, we need to ask ourselves now: what infrastructure do we want to leave to our children and grandchildren?

The shift away from fossil fuels, for instance, requires an adaptation of the electricity grid. To avoid it becoming the bottleneck for the growth of renewable energies, many kilo­metres of new overhead lines will need

to be installed in the near future. Europe’s elec­tricity grid was built over 50 years ago. In times of general enthusiasm about ­industrial development, they signified progress and comfort. Engineers spread steel lattice pylons all over the landscape, for they are robust, functional and cheap.

Nowadays however, power lines have a strong negative image in public opinion they are associated with heavy pollution resulting from energy giants’ pursuit of profit regardless of environmental and health consequences. New power line projects arouse public opposition leading to long delays in planning procedures. Current attempts to win public acceptance try to provide more transparency, understanding and dialogue.

However, they do not address another ­crucial aspect of grid lines: their visual effect.

The 50m-high steel towers and their cables have a strong visual impact on landscapes.

The technical, hard look of lattice pylons is reminiscent of heavy industry. Their austere look thus suffices to evoke feelings of dismay in observers.

If new grid lines built to transport electricity from renewable sources cannot be avoided and are not put underground for various reasons, their design should be brought into line with current aesthetic norms and reflect the transformation of the electricity system in a climate-, environment- and society-friendly system. When it comes to the acceptance among the public of infrastructure projects, the power of aesthetics has already been proved many times by bridges: carefully ­designed, they become landmarks and ­tourist attractions. Power grids might also have the same potential.

First attempts to explore the future pylons’ design options were undertaken by architects and designers in various pylon design

competitions, producing around 500 new concepts. Some of them are enchanting and invite us to take a visionary outlook towards future landscapes with grids maintaining or even enhancing their scenic beauty.

Title

About the PCF World Forum Consumption of goods and services ­indirectly contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions. Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the impact of their products on the climate and general environment.

They are also needed to provide ­consumers with information on a product’s climate impact to help them make climate-conscious ­consumption decisions.

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum is a neutral platform to share practical experiences and knowledge towards climateconscious consumption and production. The international platform provides ­orientation in current standardisation processes and ­creates opportunities for discussing inter­ national corporate best practices and ­emerging tools to support low carbon and climate-conscious consumption models.

The PCF World Forum was created out of the ambition to talk with each other and

not just about each other given the ever ­increasing number of initiatives around the world and often little real understanding of respective approaches and activities.

Over the past years representatives from a range of organisations and initiatives have come together at the PCF World S ­ ummits, PCF World Forum Update Workshops and dedicated Dialogue Fora Low Carbon Society to give insights into their own work, discuss and interpret current developments and explore possible common pathways.

The PCF World Summits have stimulated several working groups such as the current Task Force on international harmonisation of Product Category Rules and concrete co­ operations among participants.

Third PCR Round Table, 10 / 2011

Product Category Rules (PCR) Task Force Companies across all sectors increasingly assess and communicate the environ­mental and climate impact of their goods and ­services. To achieve comparability in results, uniform and specific metrics are needed.

International standards for product carbon footprinting (PCF) such as the GHG Protocol Product Standard or ISO 14067 „Carbon footprint of products“ are currently developed and will provide basic rules for the assessment and communication of PCF results.

However, various assumptions still need to be made in each assessment of a carbon footprint or full LCA. Due to the lack of specificity, PCFs for identical products may therefore still lead to incomparable results. The major standards hence refer to the use of Product Category Rules (PCRs), which provide a set of specific rules for the assessment of a product in a certain product category or sector. PCRs are traditionally developed by industry groups and / or national EPD programs. Many business associations are currently devel-

oping PCRs or are planning to do so. As a consequence, often many different rules exist for a certain product category inter­ nationally. The increasing uptake of product carbon footprinting and the application of the new stan­dards further contributes to this situation. As a result, a company that wishes to assess the carbon footprint of a certain product may be confronted with a range of different ­possible PCRs. Also many pro­ duct ­categories share the same underlying ­processes such as transport or agriculture.

The PCR Round Table hosted by the PCF World Forum works towards global alignment of product category and sector rules.

The Task Force includes members from the World Resources Institute, the World ­Business Council for Sustainable Development, JEMAI, GEDnet, Environdec, the French Environmental Ministry, defra, the American Center for Life Cycle Assessment, Earthster and is facilitated by Mark ­Goedkoop from PRé and Rasmus Priess from the PCF World Forum.

Renewable Energy Use

The PCF World Forum is a joint platform set up to foster and facilitate dialogue with and between international initiatives on how to assess, reduce and communicate the impact of goods and services on the climate. A large number of such initiatives have formed over the years and more are emerging. The following pages provide an introduction to some of these initiatives, many of which are participating at the 7th PCF World ­Summit.

The initiatives have been grouped into ­cate­gories for easier access though more than one category may be applicable.

GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) and Product Life Cycle Standards The Greenhouse Gas Protocol provides the foundation for sustainable climate strategies GHG Protocol standards are the most widely used suite of international accounting tools for businesses and other organisations to measure, manage, and report GHG ­emissions. In 2010, more than 85 % of the 2,487 respondents to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) survey used the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard to measure and report their emissions.

With the addition of the new Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard and Product Life Cycle Standard, companies can now ­measure, manage and report their full cor­porate value chain emissions and the ­emissions from the products they buy, ­manufacture and sell.

Towards global standards The new standards complete the GHG Protocol suite of corporate accounting and reporting standards created for business.

The tools establish a much-needed comprehensive, global, standardized framework for companies working to manage their value chain and product emissions and to mitigate their climate impacts.

The Corporate Value Chain and Product Life Cycle standards have been created through a broad, inclusive, multi-stakeholder process.

Over a three year period: • 2,300 participants were involved from 55 countries • 207 members formed technical working groups to draft the standards, and • 60 companies from various industries road tested the standards in 2010.

The Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard The Corporate Value Chain Standard is the first tool companies can use to assess their entire value chain impact and identify the most effective ways to reduce emissions. ­Often, the majority of total corporate emissions come from scope 3 sources, which means many companies have been missing out on significant opportunities for improvement. For example, road tester Kraft Foods found that value chain emissions comprise more than 90 % of the company’s total emissions. Users of the new standard can now account for emissions from 15 categories of scope 3 activities, both upstream and downstream of their operations. The scope 3 framework also supports strategies to partner with suppliers and customers to address climate impacts throughout the value chain.

The Product Life Cycle Standard The Product Standard can be used to understand the full life cycle emissions of a product and focus efforts on the greatest GHG reduction opportunities. This is the first step towards more sustainable products. Using the new standard, companies can measure the greenhouse gases associated with the full life cycle of products including raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, storage, use and disposal. The results can create compe­ titive advantage by enabling better product design, increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, and removing risks. The standard will also help companies respond to customer demand for environmental information. www.ghgprotocol.org

International Standards

WG 2 decided to align the requirements for addressing direct and indirect land-use changes with the specifications of the revised PAS 2050. These requirements are informed by research in Europe and the American state of California, which elaborate details related to sustainability criteria for biofuels.

Other sector-specific category rules are under development for the electronic industry by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and for building construction under ISO 21930:2007, Sustainability in building construction – Environmental declaration of buil­ ding products. These organisations cooperate through liaison with ISO / TC 207 / SC 7/ WG 2.

ISO 14067 is planned to become ­available as a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) by August 2012, with publication expected for November 2012.

Individual Initiatives

The standard also offers a range of communication options, including carbon footprint declarations, claims, labels, reporting and performance tracking. The requirements on verification and the need for specific product category rules are partly dependent upon whether the communication is B2B or B2C. To improve user-friendliness and consistency, working group WG 2, GHG management in the value or supply chain, of ISO technical committee ISO / TC 207, Environment management, subcommittee SC 7, Greenhouse gas management and related activities, decided to merge Part 1, Quantification, and Part 2, Communication. The working group allowed for a second round of balloting to ensure that the standard would earn broad support in all countries.

Thanks to an initiative from the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS), ISO member for the country, and the Swedish International Development Authority (Sida), the ISO process has gained significant engagement from developing countries, in particular from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA countries) and the East African Community (EAC countries).

Those contributions are helping to develop an International Standard that will be useful around the world. This strong interest from developing countries is also reflected in the growing engagement of India and China.

PCRs and Sector Guidance

Development of ISO 14067 continues apace.

Quantification requirements are maturing, and have already informed internal guidance documents for the American retailer Wal-Mart and other companies. The standard will provide much more specific guidance than the underlying ISO 14044:2006, Environmental manage­ ment – Life cycle assessment – Requirements and guidelines. However, the standard avoids excessively prescriptive language in order to effectively support carbon footprint measurement for all products and services.

ISO 14067 calls for specific product category rules, including not only the specifications of ISO 14025:2006, Environmental labels and declarations – Type III environmental declarations – Principles and procedures, but also other sector-specific standards or inter­nationally agreed guidance documents related to materials and product categories.

EU Environmental Fooprinting Project In its conclusions on the Sustainable ­Consumption and Production Action Plan, the Council invited the Commission “to take into account Member States’ experience, to start working as soon as possible on ­common voluntary methodologies facili­tating the future establishment of carbon audits for organisations and the calculation of the carbon footprint of products and organi­ sations”. In a detailed assessment of ­existing product and organisational footprinting methodologies and initiatives the European Commission came to the conclusion that it is important to take into consideration all ­environmental impacts of products and organisations in a balanced way.

After further demands for harmonised methodologies through the “Single Market Act”, the European Council Conclusions on “Sustainable materials management and sustainable production and consumption” and the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, DG Environment is now working together with the European Commission’s Joint Research

Centre (JRC IES) and other European Commission services towards the development of • a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the environmental footprint of products • and a technical guide for the calculation of the environmental footprint of organisations.

The methodologies will be developed buil­ ding on the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) handbook as well as other existing methodological standards and guidance documents (For environmental footprint of products: ISO 14040-44, PAS 2050, BP X30, WRI / WBCSD GHG P ­ rotocol, Sustainability Consortium, ISO 14025, Ecological Footprint, etc. For environmental footprint of organisations: Global Reporting Initiative, WRI GHG Protocol, CDP Water Footprint, ISO 140064, DEFRA guidance on GHG reporting, ADEME Bilan Carbone, etc.) http://ec.europa.eu/environment/eussd/ product_footprint.htm http://ec.europa.eu/environment/eussd/ corporate_footprint.htm

The German Blue Angel and Climate Protection Since 1978 the German Blue Angel has set the standard for eco-friendly goods and services. Today, about 11.500 products within over 90 categories carry the Blue Angel eco-label. It is a state-initiated label whose criteria are adopted by an indepen­ dent jury including representatives of civil ­organisations and the industry. In line with the international standard for eco-labelling, ISO 14024, the Blue Angel as a so called Type I Eco-label is designed to promote goods and services that have – based on the entire life cycle – reduced environmental and health impacts compared to the market average. Combined with other environmental policy instruments, eco-label initiatives can play their part to restructure the economy towards sustainable development.

In 2008 the German Federal Environment Ministry together with the Eco-labelling Board introduced a new cluster approach in which climate change is one category.

To strengthen the portfolio of the Blue Angel in this regard, the Ministry and the ­Federal ­Environment Agency launched a large project within the national climate initiative. The objective of this project is to extend the ­product range of the Blue Angel up to 100 product categories with climate ­relevance by 2012.

The importance and positive effect of such developments is shown by the fact that private households alone account directly for

more than one fourth of all GHG ­emissions in Germany. And this calculation does not even include the emissions caused by the ­production of goods and services. It is ­expected that if only the eco-labelled top ­runner products were used, households would be able to achieve electric power ­savings up to 30-40 percent.

Instead of developing a new singleissue label based on PCF, the responsible stakeholders in Germany decided in 2009 to integrate PCF into the Blue Angel as a well-established labelling programme. They are currently investigating options to put this further into practice, e.g. how to systema­ tically include criteria on carbon footprinting into the criteria setting of the Blue Angel and successful ways to communicate it to the consumers. www.blauer-engel.de/en/index.php

The Platform for Climate Compatible ­Consumption Germany provides a basis for businesses and other stakeholders in society to jointly address and advance climate compatible consumption. The Platform and its members see themselves as drivers and partners in the implementation of GHG reduction measures in global value chains both on the side of the respective companies and also in the use of goods and ­services by consumers. Apart from stimulating ­dialogue around and the collective promotion of ­climate compatible consumption, the Platform offers members a context in which to measure, interpret and communicate the climate compatibility of their own products against recognised standards and in close dialogue with relevant stakeholders.

Joint Initiatives

The Platform evolved from the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Project Germany – www.pcf-project.de. In the project, which was implemented from 2007 to early 2009, the concept of product carbon footprinting was explored in practical case studies with a range of companies across sectors. Through this work, important foundations for the assessment of PCFs were established and recommendations for their application and the international standardisation of underlying methodologies given. Findings and recommendations from the pilot phase are documented in the report “Product Carbon Footprinting – The Right Way to Promote Low Carbon Products and Consumption Habits?”, available online.

Per il Clima, Italy Legambiente, the most widespread environ­ mental organisation in Italy, supports companies in bridging the gap between consumers and producers: the project, named Per il Clima, is the first label in Italy that communi­ cates the amount of GHGs emitted by a product or a service during its life cycle.

Per il Clima’s selection criteria consider the environmental impact of the products bought by consumers, thus moving beyond a mere consideration of quality and convenience.

As a voluntary label, Per il Clima is an expression of a corporation’s intention to assume responsibility towards the environment and the consumers. The assessment of product CO2eq-emissions is conducted by Ambiente Italia, an environmental research institute, on the basis of PAS 2050. The

Lagos State Carbon Footprint and Management Project, Nigeria The initiative of the Lagos State Environ­ mental Protection Agency (LASEPA) in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Environment, Climate Change Unit, was introduced to the Manufacturers’ Association of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter in 2010, it controls participation of over five thousand companies from both manufacturing and commercial sectors, it covers mandatory GHG emission report to the carbon registry of the Lagos state government and includes government ministries, departments and agencies.

The initiative adopts a common measuring tool for carbon footprint among organisations and deployed an environmental cost ­management system for products and projects carbon footprints.

The Lagos State Carbon Footprint and Management system is a green value chain network infrastructure providing: • Databases of GHG emissions inventory to include the GHG associated with the transport system of Lagos State under the ­category of different means of transpor­ tation in Lagos State. This is being configured by taking GHG of different routes across Lagos Metropolis, the different means of energy sources in Lagos State, the GHG emission inventory of water supply through the Lagos State Water Cooperation, the Land Use Change GHG emission information and other GHG emission inventory associated with public utility.

• Environmental management system that constitutes resources for different orga­ nisations to use for the effective environmental management (GHG emission measuring and control) of their products.

In essence, this provides a platform for ­sourcing of secondary GHG emissions data for input into the computation of PCFs. The system provides reliable scope 3 inventory data for PCF. The platform is configured across a statewide supply chain system and affords companies within Lagos State the possibility of effective logistics management facility.

Lagos State Carbon Footprint and Management project introduced three carbon labels for consumers green consumption. www.lagoscarbonmanagement.org

Examples of criteria: • Fodder: Lower use of soy and locally produced, climate calculated fodder for efficient production.

• Nitrogen: Efficient use of nitrogen to ­reduce emissions of nitrous oxide.

• Animal welfare: Healthy animals results in lower emissions per produced kg meat.

• Energy: Saving energy is good for the ­wallet and for the climate.

Carbon Footprint Labels, Taiwan The Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) System in Taiwan There are two carbon label initiatives in Taiwan. The label developed by the Taiwanese Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) is a cross-sector label. The Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers ­Association (TEEMA) launched its own label for the electronic sector. Both labels have ­already been awarded to a couple of products.

Introduction of the CFP System in Taiwan The carbon footprint labelling system will be promoted and carried out in two stages. In the first stage, businesses are encouraged to conduct and assess the carbon footprint of their products. This will allow them to understand the percentage of GHGs emitted throughout the various stages of their pro­duct’s life cycle. Furthermore, it will help them to review and plan solutions for their GHG reduction.

Consumers, on the other hand, will be more likely to understand and purchase products with carbon emission revelations. This will, in turn, encourage businesses to increase their efforts in GHG management and reduction.

Once the assessment and labelling systems for the CFP will be standardised with unifying rules, and once most products of the same

category will be labelled accordingly, the project will enter a second stage, aiming at reducing the carbon emissions through concrete action.

Guideline for accounting the carbon ­footprint of products and services Since ISO 14067 is not yet completed, a guideline to assess the carbon footprint of products and services has been created to serve as a reference for carbon footprinting.

Based on a LCA method under CNS 14040 and CNS 14044, and referring to the content of PAS 2050:2008 and ISO 14067 CD1, this guideline provides detailed rules as well as a unifying accounting method to calculate the GHGs throughout the life cycles of products and services from all sectors. http://cfp.epa.gov.tw

Thailand GHG Management Organisation (Public Organisation: TGO), in collaboration with the National Metal and Materials Technology Centre (MTEC) and several Organisations in Thailand, has promoted the development of the CFP and the Carbon Footprint of Organisations (CFO). These aim to provide an alternative for consumers, manufacturers and organisations to reduce GHG emissions, as well as to promote and enhance the competitiveness of the Thai industrial sector in the global market. One of the aims is to prepare manufacturers for the upcoming ISO 14067 and ISO 14069 standards as well as other environmental standards.

The CFP labelling scheme has been very well received by the industry with enthu­ siastic participation. By February 2012, 458 products from 100 companies have received the CFP label.

Country / Governmental

The CFP labelling scheme was launched in 2009. The first 23 products from 16 pilot companies were awarded with the CFP label on 25 December 2009. The CFO pilot project was launched in 2010. The 12 pilot organi­ sations were awarded with CFO certificates on 22 July 2011.

Joint Initiatives

As a consequence of global warming, ­effective GHG emission reduction methods have been promoted and practiced globally.

This has involved different actors, namely the industrial and agricultural sector as the producers, the service sector as the provi­ders and the general public as the consu­mers.

The consumer sector can contribute to the emission reduction effort through its selection of products and services with lower GHG emissions. Therefore, it is necessary for the consumers to be informed about carbon footprints to support their purchasing decisions.

PAS 2050 Product Footprinting: Mapping the Way Forward PAS 2050 – how it all started Originally published in 2008 by BSI, PAS 2050 is the world’s first carbon footprint standard developed to assist organisations in assessing and managing the climate change impact of the products they offer. Used internationally on a wide array of products, PAS 2050 sets a methodological benchmark for other national and international footprint initiatives to strive towards and be informed by.

The 2011 revision of PAS 2050 has rendered the methodology more accessible to a wider range of businesses by addressing advances in theoretical knowledge and the practical experience of the PAS 2050’s far-reaching user community. Continuous co-operation with organizations such as ISO, WRI / WBCSD, and the European Commission brings the PAS 2050 methodology and its use towards closer alignment with other international footprint methods to promote harmonization of standards.

Supporting GHG management effort at the sector / product category level Taking account of evidence that PCF could be enhanced through additional categoryspecific rules, PAS 2050:2011 introduces a framework to permit the coordinated development and use of such supplementary requirements. Examples of category-specific initiatives include: PAS 2050-1 (horticultural products) – this first derivative of PAS 2050 (published March 2012) offers invaluable assistance and clarity

to organizations within the horticulture sector for the assessment of the climate change impact of their products.

PAS 2050-2 (aquatic food products) – this specification (in development) will establish supplementary requirements for the appli­ cation of PAS 2050 to the assessment of emissions from all aquatic food products.

PAS 2070 (consumption-based emissions in cities). The PAS (in development) will focus its core content on a measurement method­ ology for Scope 3 emissions. A variety of ­approaches will be needed to develop a useful estimate of city-scale GHG emissions across different sectors / activities. The PAS will be enabled for use by other cities globally.

The bigger picture…

The PAS 2050 family of standards addresses the single impact category of global warming.

It is important to consider GHG emissions within the context of other environmental and social impacts and devise effective tools to manage these impacts. At BSI, we realise that today’s huge task is to start addressing the impact of the global supply chain in its totality.

BSI’s portfolio of standards therefore includes tools from different sub-disciplines, ranging from embedding sustainable development into business practices, encouraging resource efficiency, promoting environmentally friendly technologies, to supporting socially respon­s­ ible business practices and ethical trading. www.bsigroup.com/sustainability www.bsigroup.com/PAS2050

Carbon Reduction Label, UK About the Carbon Trust The Carbon Reduction Label was created by the Carbon Trust, a not-for-profit company whose mission is to accelerate the move to a low-carbon economy.

Our work involves tasks as diverse as ­helping companies large and small to cut their carbon footprints, encouraging the development of new low-carbon ­technologies such as offshore wind and wave power and investing in the solutions of the future to ­develop the low-carbon economy. This will lead to more green jobs and a more ­sustainable future for everybody.

A guide to the label The Carbon Reduction Label is an easily recognisable on-pack label that can be used to check whether the producing company is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the product on sale. Brands that want to ‘wear’ the Label are required to calculate the exact footprint of the product in question to the PAS 2050 standard. This standard was developed in 2007 by the Carbon Trust in partnership with the UK Department for ­Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and BSI British Standards. It is now being used around the world by hundreds of companies to calculate their PCFs.

When calculating a carbon footprint, every stage in the product‘s life cycle must be ­taken into account including the raw ­materials and packaging needed to produce it, through to manufacture, transportation, sale to the end user, use and disposal. Once the carbon footprint of the product has been measured and certified, the brand then has to commit to reducing the product’s emissions. Every two years, the product must be reassessed and a reduction has to have been achieved and independently certified – or the Label is removed. www.carbontrustcertification.com www.carbon-label.com

CDP Supply Chain makes a win-win scena­ rio a reality: both the purchasing organisation and their suppliers benefit because relationships with suppliers are strengthened and suppliers improve their capacity to operate in a low carbon economy. Executed correctly, supply chain engagement will not simply generate benefits for the environment, but for the balance sheet as well.

PCRs and Sector Guidance

Climate change has become a mainstream business issue and large corporations are now extending their gains in internal carbon management to the next opportunity: their supply chain. An organisation’s supply chain can represent as much as 86 % of its total emissions and, in the past year alone, 30 % of Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Supply Chain member companies reported supply chain disruptions due to weather-related incidents.

Climatop, Switzerland Labelling Intelligent, Climate Friendly Products Objectives Climatop works as a tool for realising a Low Carbon Society. The label aims to support climate friendly purchase behaviour as well as a long-term development and distribution of climate compatible products and services world-wide.

A competitive approach Climatop represents a best-in-class-label, thereby calculating and comparing innovative products and certifying those which emit, compared with a representative peer group or an industry average, less GHGs. This leads to an incentive for producers to change their products in such a way as to save energy and material, at the same time maintaining their functionality. Climatop calls these products „intelligent, climate friendly products“, since the company made an effort to improve the products in order to realise a lower environmental impact.

The award of the label is based on a full cradle-to-grave LCA taking into account not only CO2 emissions but also relevant environmental burdens. The LCA ­calculations are verified by an independent, external inspection body, which corresponds to the ­requirement of the ISO 14040 standard.

Moreover, Climatop includes social criteria.

The label is only valid for two years. In the context of a new assessment the producer has to, thereafter, show that its label is still justified. In the new assessment, the most

current standards of the LCA methods and database values are used. If a ­competitor has a better result, i.e. a more climate friendly product, the former holder of the award has to return the label.

Current status and future goals So far, Climatop has certified 60 products since 2008. The range of the products ­varies from investment to consumer goods.

One of the key goals for the future remains the cooperation with partners that enable a quick and geographic broadening of the label whenever it is reasonable. Recently, Climatop went international by labelling its first German product. Next important steps are going to be taken world-wide.

All labelled products are described in detail on fact sheets publicly available at www.climatop.ch

Moreover, the digital form offers the possi­ bility to gather statistical data. Indeed, once the tool is implemented, statistical data can be collected on how the consumer interacts with the information in order to continuously improve the service. For instance, it has been measured that the tool is being consulted 3 million times a month.

The ecological barometer is often coupled with another digital tool called HopSimu. It is a simulator that empowers the consumer to adapt the environmental data he is reading to his own behaviour.

Individual Initiatives

Behind the ecological barometer lies a tool able to automatically gather all environmental data available on a product and its brand. A significant part of the gathered product data consists of LCA data, which are displayed through three LCA indicators. The indicators vary depending on product categories except for the carbon footprint indicator.

For example on a washing machine, the two other indicators are water footprint and nonrenewable resources consumption, whilst on a piece of clothing, the eutrophication indicator is chosen over the resources indicator.

The scoring sums up the indicators so that

the comparison between several product footprints is effortless.

The digital display form is the most comprehensive as it enables easy and quick comparison, interaction via social network tools, as well as several levels of information and multimedia. It embraces all aggregated environmental data such as product labels, manufacturers’ CSR policies, and pedagogical content. The approach is fully transparent as the whole methodology is explained as well.

PCRs and Sector Guidance

The purpose of the ecological barometer is to enable consumers to easily access and understand environmental ­information on products. It achieves this by ­providing them synthetic, transparent and ­documented information in order to support ­eco-conscious purchases. The products are carrying the ­barometer on their packaging, ­digitally through mobile and / or directly on the product page of e-merchant websites.

35 000 products have already disclosed their environmental footprints through this tool.

Environmental Index

by Casino Group, Bio Intelligence Service and Partners Consortium, France Projects stakeholders and products concerned The project stems from an active colla­ bo­ration of members of the retail trade, food manufacturers and an environmental labelling consultant company. A technical partnership was also set up with an environ­ mental organisation, which monitored every stage of the project’s development. In addition, a group of consumer associations was consulted on a regular basis throughout the project. In all, over 140 private label and national brand food products are involved in the Environmental Index over 2011.

Description The Environmental Index defined by the ­Casino, BIO Intelligence Service and partners consortium represents the environmental impact of 100gr (or ml) of product compared to the environmental impact of the total daily consumption of food of a French person, accounting for 3 impact indicators (greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and eutrophication) aggregated using the PRIOR® method.

Why aggregate environmental impacts?

Environmental information based on several environmental criteria can affect c­ ustomers or even cancel out the potential benefits of an environmental labelling initiative of products in terms of customer behaviour by leaving them to referee between the different environmental impact categories: is it better for me to opt for climate warming? Water

consumption? Eutrophication? In order to facilitate interpretation of the results and help customers in their decision-making, LCA result weighting-aggregation methods can be used: the results obtained for each environmental impact category are “converted” into scores which are then aggregated into a single score thereby facilitating the compa­ rison of several points.

Aggregation thus provides customers with simple, easy-to-understand information, which can be used as a decision-making tool to prioritise and grade the environmental stakes both by eco-design manufacturers and policy-makers. The consortium wished to provide customers with unique environmental information on the product packaging enabling them to use it instantly as a shopping criteria. www.indice-environnemental.fr

GHGs caused by food production Food production is a major player in global emissions of GHGs: 35-37 % are caused by the food industry worldwide (15 % agri­ culture, 15 % land use change (LUC), 5-7 % production of foodstuff including processing, industry, and transport).

To know the true environmental impact of food production, we have to take into ­account all processes in the production cycle: from the entire agricultural ­production, processing, packaging and storage to ­retailing the product. Only then will we know what effects our food has on the climate. The carbon footprint of Zurück zum Ursprung includes all these factors.

• All primary products are of domestic origin • In consideration of the destruction of savannas and tropical land through soy cultivation (LUC), farmers working for Zurück zum Ursprung don´t use imported soy as animal feed • Animals are only given domestic organic feed • Humus accumulation through organic agriculture • No use of vinasse and other easily soluble organic fertilisers How far can we travel with such a small footprint? 400 orbits around the earth! This is how much Zurück zum Ursprung saves each year. Calculations are based on the brand’s annual sales. www.zurueckzumursprung.at

Joint Initiatives

Know your food’s carbon footprint and save the environment! Zurück zum Ursprung (Back to the Source) is a brand reporting the amount of GHGs emitted during the entire production of its organic food through a carbon footprint (CO2 -Fußabdruck). The footprint on each product informs the consumer about the reduction in CO2 emissions compared to that of conventional food. The brand is recipient of the 2009 Austrian Climate Protection Award.

the carbon footprint is the effective combination of organic and sustainable farming and the principles of local food. Here are some results of Zurück zum Ursprung agriculture: • Wheat bread: up to 53.6 % lower CO2 -eq-emissions • Dairy products: up to 20.6 % lower CO2 -eq-emissions • Eggs: up to 51.3 % lower CO2 -eq-emissions

CARBON FILM QUOTE

CUT! CO2

Carbon Film Quote The Carbon Film Quote tool is the world’s first TV commercial budget estimator with an integrated carbon calculator. The project was initiated by the German advertising agency BBDO in 2011. The tool lets production companies, agencies and clients identify and evaluate low-emission, environmentallyfriendly production options when looking at initial cost estimates. The carbon ­calculator tool itself was modelled by the Berlin based Think-do tank THEMA1 building on require­ ments of the GHG Protocol Product ­Standard and ISO 14067. At the moment of the project no product category rule (PCR) or guidelines for advertising film production were available to support the ­methodological creation of a CO2 balance. Hence, the ­process model was designed in close collaboration with commercial producers and further stakeholders.

Using the GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Standard as a methodology framework, the pilot project will compare different PCRs to assess result reproducibility and to evaluate the range of result variation, if any. The pilot project aims to put forward recommendations regarding PCRs alignment. Quebec wishes to share the results of the pilot project with fellow members of the PCF World Forum and the scientific community.

The pilot project will also benefit from the GHG emissions testing expertise of the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ),

In addition to setting out a coherent and harmonised method to calculate the carbon footprints of products and services, the pilot project aims to contribute to the collaborative work undertaken by the PCR Task Force.

Joint Initiatives

The pilot project currently involves ten businesses that will quantify the carbon footprints of one or several of their products. The participating organisations were selected in an effort to cover a wide range of products, companies and parameters that could impact calculation methods. The products submitted to the pilot are: aluminum ingots, cloud computing services, wood products, pulp and paper industry products, second ­generation biofuel, packaging products, agri-food ­products.

Individual Initiatives

In order to address these challenges, the government of Quebec launched a pilot ­project on labelling of carbon footprint of products. In order to base this initiative on solid foundations aligned with ­international best practices, the Quebec ­Government joined forces with the Interuniversity ­Research Center for the LCA of products.

which will assess the level of assurance possible to obtain on PCF results and re­commend verification mechanisms to ­support the deployment of the measure.

PCRs and Sector Guidance

The recent developments in PCF showed positive results regarding harmonisation of methodologies. A challenge now remains to provide enough specificity to enable comparison through the development of PCRs. However, several programs ­provide their own PCRs. The question, which can be raised is whether PCRs coming from ­different initiatives enable consistent ­comparisons.

European Food SCP Round Table The European Food Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Round Table is an initiative that is co-chaired by the ­European Commission and food supply chain ­partners and supported by the UN Environment ­Programme (UNEP) and European ­Environment Agency. There are 24 member organisations representing the European food ­supply chain. Participation in the European Food SCP Round Table is also open to consumer representative organisations and environmental / nature conservation NGOs. The European Food SCP Round Table’s structure, with participation of all food supply chain members at European level on an equal footing, enables it to take a ­harmonised, life-cycle approach and facilitates an open and results-driven dialogue among all players along the food chain.

The European Food SCP Round Table’s ­vision is to promote a science-based, ­coherent approach to sustainable consumption and production in the food sector across Europe, while taking into account environ­ mental interactions at all stages of the food chain. A key principle is that environ­mental information communicated along the food chain, including to consumers, shall be scientifically reliable and consistent, under­ standable and not misleading, so as to ­support informed choice.

The aim of the European Food SCP Round Table is to establish the food chain as a ­major contributor towards sustainable consumption and production in Europe. The

European Food SCP Round Table‘s activities will not only help to strengthen the long-term competitiveness of Europe‘s food chain, but also support EU policy objectives, notably those outlined in the European ­Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and Sustainable Industrial Policy. The European Food SCP Round Table is also taking into account the global SCP agenda, including the initiatives facilitated by UNEP and other organisations to advance resource efficiency, sustainable value chains and social responsibility.

In pursuing this vision and recognising the need to establish a scientifically reliable, practical and harmonised environmental assessment methodology for food and drink products across Europe, Working Group 1 of the European Food SCP Round Table is currently developing the „The Protocol for the ENVIronmental assessment of FOOd and Drink products“ (ENVIFOOD Protocol). This will include, as appropriate, product cate­ gory specifications – to form the basis for voluntary communication of environmental information along the food chain, including consumers.

The Protocol will be tested in 2012 through pilot studies and consultation starting mid 2012 and may be modified accordingly ­before its planned launch in the end of 2012. www.food-scp.eu

SEMCo is currently involved in developing the first global PCR database within the cooperation of GEDnet (the Global Environmental Declarations Network) where these initiatives to harmonise PCR work could be very useful.

PCR Guidance (ACLCA) Guidance for Product Category Rule Development The increasing demand for LCA-based product declarations, such as product carbon footprint and EPDs, has generated a corresponding need for rules for ­making comparable declarations of products within the same category. These rules are ­referred to as product category rules (PCRs), product rules, supplementary requirements or pro­ duct footprint category rules in different standards. Thus far, the development of PCRs has taken place independently by various programs using one of the abovementioned standards. As a result, there is no strong consensus on how to develop sound and consistent PCRs, nor is there a pro­ ductive cross-recognition of PCRs between various programs.

Through discussions over the past year in multi-stakeholder organizations such as the PCF World Forum’s PCR Roundtable and Taskforce, it has become clear that more guidance on PCRs could benefit all parties involved and help improve the legitimacy of the product declarations. The American Center for LCA PCR committee has initiated a collaborative working group co-chaired

by Wes Ingwersen (U.S. EPA) and Vee ­Subramanian (Arizona State University) to create a globally applicable and consensusbased guidance for PCRs that aligns all product declaration standards and programs.

This working group consists of 32 participants from around the world, representing standard developers, program operators, industry associations, NGOs, government organizations and LCA experts.

The guidance document DOES NOT ­INTEND TO do the following: • Pre-empt the development of ISO 14025 or other LCA-based product claim standards • Act as a standard by itself The guidance document DOES INTEND TO do the following: • Supplement existing LCA-based product claim standards • Create a robust PCR template that can be used by all program operators • Develop a list of common elements for PCRs • Make best practice recommendations for PCR development • Support the alignment of existing LCAbased product claim standards • Evolve continuously based on the need determined by stakeholders www.lcacenter.org

Objectives of the project include: • Offering a new model for how food and beverage companies can partner with their suppliers to mitigate climate change, by ­offering companies the opportunity to source both carbon credits and coffee from the same farms.

• Demonstrating a replicable framework for how voluntary agricultural certification can help smallholder farmers access carbon markets.

• Enabling smallholder farmers to generate additional revenue streams through being rewarded for the climate services their sustainably managed lands provide.

The rigor of carbon accounting and measurement the project requires implies that – with sufficient resources and training – LCA or other carbon footprinting methodologies could be applied in other certified farms. www.rainforest-alliance.org/climate/projects/ carbon-coffee

The Rainforest Alliance and the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), developed criteria for best management practices to foster agri­ cultural mitigation and adaptation. These criteria are part of a voluntary, add-on “climate module” intended to be accessible, practical, and understandable (with guidance) to farmers.

The SAN Climate Module seeks to expand the definition of sustainable agriculture by defining the standards for what should constitute climate friendly or climate smart agriculture.

Conformance with its 15 adaptation and mitigation criteria will allow farmers to make cre­ dible statements about their efforts to reduce net GHG emissions, increase carbon storage and build adaptive capacity on their farms.

The Sustainability Consortium Developing a Sustainability Measurement and Reporting System (SMRS) for Product LCAs TSC The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) is a global, academically led, multi-stakeholder organisation conducting research and ­developing data, standards, systems and tools that will improve decision-making and drive sustainability in consumer goods.

SMRSTM The Sustainability Measurement and ­Reporting System (SMRS) under development will deliver actionable sustainability information through Category Sustainability Profiles (Level 1), and deliver a large-scale system supporting standardisation and ­harmonisation of product LCAs over time (Level 2). A wide range of retailers and suppliers are beginning to put TSC’s work to use, informing how they design products, source materials and buy merchandise.

The outcome of the Level 1 SMRS are ­Category Sustainability Profiles. Those apply to the product category level (e.g. laundry detergents, frozen beef, shoes) and are not for product level comparison. Category

Sustainability Profiles promote sharing of i­nformation and enable an informed ­merchant and retail buyer conversation.

The outcome of the Level 2 SMRS are Product Sustainability Declarations. Those apply to the product level (e.g. JC’s Frozen Beef Patties) and allow for direct comparison of products against the product category baseline (including uncertainty). Product Sustainability Declarations are based on a baseline LCA model and PCRs and deliver transparent, science based results.

Consumer Science TSC’s Consumer Science working group is actively researching effective communication of sustainability information for consumers, work that will influence how retailers and brands engage consumers around these issues. The Sustainability Consortium’s work will have important global business implications by fostering, and enabling, communication and reporting of sustainability characte­ ristics across the supply chain. www.sustainabilityconsortium.org

The Climate Code defines principles related to climate change adaptation and mitigation as well as indicators for objective measurement. It includes four components: • Enabling environment • Natural resource management • Soil and crop management • Energy, GHG and carbon stocks The 4C Climate Module focuses on adap­ tation and links adaptation measures to mitigation effects where possible. For this purpose the project, together with further partners, tested a GHG calculator (Cool Farm Tool), monitoring on-farm emissions and identifying emission hot spots.

For a scaled up impact, it is therefore planned to fine-tune and adapt the 4C Climate Module and the GHG calculator to other production systems and local contexts, align the Climate Code with other standards, and ultimately integrate the 4C Climate ­Module into the 4C Baseline Standard.

Joint Initiatives

According to a membership survey carried out by the 4C Association among 120 producers groups and 82 trade and industry re­presentatives, 80% of the respondents of both groups expect carbon footprint measure­ment to become a business requirement within the next ten years and expressed strong interest in applying the 4C Climate Module.

Bloomberg Corporate Renewable Energy Index The Corporate Renewable Energy Index (CREX) creates transparency with regard to the amount of renewable energy used by the world’s largest listed corporations. The CREX makes available information about the type and amount of energy used by corporations, providing insight that can be used to inform consumers about climatefriendly purchasing decisions. The results of the CREX are based on surveys conducted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance of the world’s 1,000 largest corporations by market capitalisation. Among almost 1,000 companies surveyed, more than 102 responded with 2010 figures, resulting in 176 companies included for combined 2009 and 2010.

The CREX covers total energy consumption as well as renewable energy as a share of total energy consumption, listing absolute figures and relative percentages of corporate renewable energy consumption for electri­city.

The index also includes how corporations procure renewable energy, such as through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), green pricing, carbon offsets, and direct investments. The renewable energy techno­ logy breakdown covers geothermal, solar, wind, hydro, waste energy and a national blend of different technologies.

Corporations can evaluate their performance on renewable energy procurement compared with their competitors. They can also see how industry leaders in sustainability use renewable energy to make their operations and value chains climate friendly. www.bnef.com

Organisations have sought clarity about whether the contractual energy purchasing mechanisms can carry specific emissions claims that can be represented quantitative­ ly in a GHG inventory. Using contractual mechanisms in scope 2 calculations raises several issues, including: • Are there quality assurance measures in place to verify a clear chain of custody and no double selling?

• Does the mechanism contain information about generation emissions, also called „attributes“?

• Is implicit double counting addressed that occurs when the zero or low-emissions attributes contained in contractual instruments are not „removed“ of grid average figures?

International Standards

The Guidelines are currently in Technical Working Group discussions, and a draft will be available for public comment in April 2012 with final publication of the Guidelines in fall 2012. www.ghgprotocol.org/feature/ghg-protocolpower-accounting-guidelines

Joint Initiatives

To harmonise GHG accounting practices worldwide, the GHG Protocol has begun a process to develop Power Accounting ­Guidelines that will provide an internatio­ nal framework establishing principles and practices for the use of contractual ­energy purchasing mechanisms in corporate ­inventories, specifying policy-neutral criteria and procedures necessary for clear and consistent accounting.

GHG accounting issues for purchased energy products

An internationally-applicable framework

PCRs and Sector Guidance

For most companies, emissions associated with electricity consumption (scope 2) re­ present a significant portion of the total GHG inventory, which can be reduced first through efficiency improvements or installing on-site renewable energy generation. In addition, many energy markets around the world provide contractual means for companies to demonstrate demand for low-emissions ­energy and initiate new energy projects.

These can include selecting suppliers with renewable energy products / labels, ­entering into direct contracts with generators or ­purchasing tracking certificates.

Should contractual instruments be required to meet further eligibility criteria in order to be used in scope 2, such as: the newness of the energy project with which it is associated its receipt of other public funding sources such as feed-in tariffs or tax credits or the extent to which the contractual mechanism itself brought about the project (e.g., additionality)?

46 | Initiatives

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership: An Environmental Choice for your Organisation EPA’s Green Power Partnership (GPP) is a voluntary program helping to increase the use of green power among leading U.S. organisations. Organisations are encouraged to purchase green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use.

The Green Power Partnership works with over 1,300 leading organisations, including Fortune 500® companies, local, state, and federal government agencies, manufacturers and retailers, trade associations, as well as a growing number of colleges and univer­ sities. Partners are purchasing over 21 billion kilowatt-hours (KWh) of green power annually, equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity use of nearly 1.8 million average American homes.

Reducing the risk of climate change Addressing climate risk is increasingly recognised as an important strategic issue for businesses and other organisations.

Green power purchasing can reduce an organisation’s climate risk and identify it as an environmental leader to important stakeholder groups, such as customers, financial analysts, shareholders, investors, government officials and employees.

Why green power?

Conventional electricity use can be one of the most significant environmental impacts associated with an organisation’s operations.

The GPP defines green power as electricity generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, low-impact biomass, and lowimpact hydro resources.

A green power purchase is one of the easiest ways for an organisation to reduce its carbon footprint. Participation in the Green Power Partnership signifies that an organi­ sation’s purchase meets nationally accepted ­standards in terms of size, content, and resource base.

Eligibility All U.S.-based organisations are welcome to join the Green Power Partnership, with the exception of electricity suppliers or provi­ ders of green power products. To qualify for the GPP, potential partner organisations must meet or exceed a minimum percen­ tage of green power that corresponds to the organisation’s purchased electricity use for U.S.-based operations. www.epa.gov/greenpower

09:45 Keynote ▶▶ Role of renewable energy in achieving the Vision 2050 convened by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Thierry Berthoud World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Switzerland

The WBCSD Vision 2050 envisages a world of 9 billion people “living well, within natural resource limits”. To meet an increased energy demand, while reducing GHG emissions to half of 2005 levels, means substantial changes in the global energy system. This challenge imposes the share of renewable energy to increase signifi­ cantly. In parallel, the elements of choice of their behaviour and consumption should be made available for end-users and consumers to induce, upstream the value chain, the sequence of investment decisions and business practices which will lead to a low carbon economy in 2050. The conditions to make this happen will be discussed.

Carbon and environmental footprinting: Developments, implementation and supporting programmes (1) ▶▶ The French Environmental Labelling Scheme: Preliminary outcomes of the experimentation phase and future outlook Martin Bortzmeyer Ministry of Sustainable Development, France

Sustainable household consumption can be an important engine for a greener economic growth. In France, the “Grenelle” environmental laws include the right for consumers to have information on the environmental performance of (mass market) products at the point of sale. It is expected that providing consumers with this ­environmental information could lead the whole chain, agricultural producers to retailers, to market more sustainable goods. In our presentation, we will first present some other European and international, public and private initiatives, then the methodological challenges and finally the latest developments of the French system, which is unique in the world because of three main characteristics: i) it relies on a legislative pillar, ii) it aims at providing a life-cycle based and multi criteria environmental information (including but going beyond the product carbon footprint, with, for example, a water footprint representing water pollution and consumption or other environmental challenges) and iii) because it could be generalised in France in the future. There will be a need to harmonise the different European initiatives, so France clearly and strongly supports European methodological developments.

About Martin Bortzmeyer The unit “integration of environment in agricultural policies” is concerned with global and local environmental impacts of agriculture. Applying assessment methods either at the agricultural practices level or at the agricultural policies level, the unit mobilizes different agro-environmental indicators in order to propose evolutions of the agricultural policies and instruments. ▶▶ Update on European guidelines on how to measure the environmental ­footprint of products and organisations Rana Pant Joint Research Centre / European Commission, Italy

This is an update on the development of European guidelines for measuring the environmental footprint of products (covering goods and services) and ­organisations that is carried out in close co-operation between DG Environment and the Joint

Research Centre of the European Commission. The objective is to support decisionmaking processes in business and policy with a comprehensive multi-criteria set of indicators based on the robust and quality assured measurement of environmental performance. This is to overcome some identified shortcomings of other existing methods that for example focus on a single indicator.

About Rana Pant Rana Pant is an environmental engineer by training and holds a PhD in engineering from the Darmstadt University of Technology. Before joining the European Commis­ sion in June 2008 he worked for over 8 years with a multinational consumer goods company on topics related to integrated waste management and on LCA. From 2005 until April 2008 he chaired the LCA Steering Committee of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC, Europe), the leading scientific organisation in the LCA area. Since Rana Pant joined the European Commission in the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research ­Centre (JRC), he has taken over responsibilities related to solid waste and Life Cycle ­Thinking, Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), the European Platform on LCA (EPLCA), the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook and the Environmental Footprint for products and organisations.

Annemarie Kerkhof PRé Consultants, Netherlands

From a market perspective, there are strong arguments to establish an inter­national system for making informed comparisons using environmental declarations or carbon footprint of products. In this context, PCRs are essential for securing the credibility of such comparisons. In order to avoid double work and market distortion, a global PCR registry will facilitate the availability of well-established PCRs from ­different programme operators around the world.

PRé Consultants and SEMCo are currently cooperating in developing the PCR Registry within the framework of GEDnet (the Global Environmental Declarations Network) to facilitate harmonisation of PCR work and meet market expectations on easily available PCR information.

2. Leveraging carbon and environmental footprinting efforts: Driving the effective implementation, use and disclosure of carbon and ­environmental footprints Large-scale businesses adoption of product footprinting is contingent on a solid ­value proposition. We should strive for new business insights and value from our product footprinting or LCA activities. One way to better leverage our product footprinting investments is to expand the business context by combining product footprint results with other commercial data, allowing us to address bigger ­business questions, such as “Does my product portfolio have a good balance between revenue, margin and sustainability impact?”, “How is the impact of my products shared across my customers?” and “Am I using my spending power responsibly?”.

Actionable insight from such new business intelligence elevates the value of product footprinting as core enabler for effective business sustainability programmes. ▶▶ The session is facilitated by Kevin Ramm SAP, UK

11:00 Keynote ▶▶ The role of business towards 100 % renewable energy Stephan Singer WWF International, Belgium

Energy consumption per unit of turnover in consumer good, retail and food ­sectors is typically much lower than that of the classic energy-intensive industries. Yet, companies with a clear business-to-consumer and brand value outreach may also consume large amounts of electricity in total. At the same time they are also much more sensitive to reputational issues and often can easily afford larger purchase of ‘costly’ renewable power.

WWF is strongly in favour of legally-binding targets for renewables as the primary delivery mechanism but in the absence of those and in the presence of weak objectives, voluntary and additional actions by the market leaders will pull the sector and push policy to start legislating more ambitious targets in order to also cover the laggards.

About Stephan Singer Stephan Singer has been leading the European Climate and Energy Policy Unit since 1999. Previously he worked for WWF Germany and for the GTZ / German ­ministry of economic co-operation in Hyderabad, India in co-operation with the World Bank on rural poverty alleviation.

▶▶ Outlook: Renewable Supply Chain Project With private market uptake of renewable energy and sustainably harvested natural resources growing, questions around operationalisation and implementation are amounting: What does 100 % renewable energy and natural resources in products and value chains actually mean? What is good renewable energy? How do I promote uptake of renewable energy / natural resources in my own value chain in face of different energy markets? The upcoming Renewable Supply Chain Project is a cross-sector partnership that is addressing these and other questions on the road to fully renewable value chains.

About Guido Axmann Guido Axmann is co-founder and managing director of THEMA1, a Berlin-based think-do-tank specialised in accelerating the transition to a low carbon society.

PCF Product Exhibition The International PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) Product Exhibition was launched at the 3rd PCF World Summit in Berlin, March 2010. It is a continuously growing collection of products from different regions of the world, allowing the visitors to follow up on international developments in PCF and environmental declarations. So far the ex­hibition and its catalogue included more than 100 products from seven different initiatives: CFP Project Japan / Carbon Trust, United Kingdom / Casino, France / Climatop, ­Switzerland / KEITI, Korea / PCF Project, Germany and TGO, Thailand.

Measuring the PCF of products isn’t the only way to address the ecological footprint of products. Moving beyond, we will this time present an additional range of products made with renewable energy and / or natural (biogenic) resources.

Still, this collection is only an extract of the worldwide activities in product sustainability labelling. Therefore we kindly invite initiatives, producers and retailers to keep us updated on developments and to contribute further and new products with declared carbon / environmental footprints or based on renewable resources for display to the international PCF community.
