Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Methodology for Novecare
This page introduces the methodology Novecare follows to calculate, source, and validate the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for its products. As part of Novecare’s commitment to sustainability and transparency, the PCF methodology is designed to provide a detailed assessment of the carbon emissions generated across the product lifecycle, including raw material sourcing, production, and transportation.
The methodology outlines a structured process for calculating PCF, adhering to global sustainability frameworks such as the GHG Protocol. It also details the data sources used, which include internal systems like Bill of Materials (BOM), IMEP, SPRINT, and cERISE. These systems supply critical data to accurately quantify emissions across multiple operational scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3).
Data validation is an essential component of the process, ensuring that any discrepancies are identified and resolved by consulting relevant data owners and stewards. For products containing bio-based raw materials, additional verification is performed to account for biogenic carbon content.
For further details on the methodology, including data workflows and validation procedures, please refer to the embedded document below.
This framework ensures reliable PCF reporting, supporting certifications such as Together for Sustainability (TfS).
