Last updated 1 year ago

Did you know: You can use the Product Ecosystem free calculator to estimate your PCF

Allocation based – a deductive approach where PCF is derived from the total company emission and the product's share in the company's revenue (or other proxy)

Product analysis based – an inductive approach where the PCF value is derived from an actual analysis of the products scope 1, 2 and 3 related emissions. See .
