Calculating your Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) helps you measure the greenhouse gas emissions of the products you manufacture or supply. Our tool guides you step by step through this process.
Step 1: Add Your Location
First, you’ll need to add the location where your product’s emissions are associated.
Navigate to Company.
Click the + Add New Location button (top right).
Enter the General Information, Business Address, and an optional Description.
Step 2: Add Your Products
Next, add the products you want to assess.
Navigate to Products.
Click + Add New Product (top right).
Fill in the product details, including:
Name
Location from a drop-down list of locations you’ve added or clicking on “ + Add location” to quickly add a new location
HS code - for benchmarking and proxy data
Product unit, weight, weight unit - for calculating the emissions per ton and proxy (estimated) data
Note: If you are a supplier, this section will already be pre-filled with the products your client has requested assessments for.
Step 3: Start a New Assessment
Now you’re ready to begin your assessment.
Navigate to Assessments.
Click + Start New Assessment (top right).
Complete the following details:
Assessment Details
Methodology: Choose from PACT & ISO 14067 that will be available soon.
Assessment Name: Use a clear, specific name to make it easy to identify later.
Location: Select the manufacturing site of the product.
Reporting Period: Choose the time period you want to calculate emissions for.
Product Details
Select a product that the assessment should be done for among the list in the drop-down menu. Products linked to the selected location in the previous step will automatically display.
Notes (Optional)
Use this free text field to add additional context — for example, details on data sources, assumptions, or exclusions.
Step 4: Complete the Assessment
Fill in the data needed for the calculation:
1.Product Outputs
Enter the total product output for the chosen reporting period.
2. Materials (Bill of Materials – BOM)
We require you to upload here your Bill of Materials (BOM), a detailed list of all components, parts, and materials required to manufacture the product , as a .csv or .xlsx file. Click here to download the sample file.
Item name (mandatory): Name of the material/component.
Amount (mandatory): Weight or quantity.
Unit (mandatory): Mass unit (e.g., kg).Note: while mandatory, if you provide HS code we could estimate Amount and Unit
Vendor name (optional): Supplier name.
Vendor ID (optional): Internal supplier reference code.
Country of origin (optional): Where the material/component underwent final transformation.
HS code (optional): Standardized trade classification code.
Note: While optional, details such as Vendor Name, Vendor ID, Country of Origin, and HS Code are essential for accurate analytics, so we strongly recommend providing them whenever possible.
3. Combustion
Select the type and quantity of fuels used in your operations.
Add multiple fuel types if needed.
If no fuels were used, exclude this section on the top right with the toggle switch
4.Electricity
Enter electricity consumption for your production.
If your electricity is not from the grid (e.g., PPA, direct link), specify the emission factor.
If no electricity was used, exclude this section on the top right with the toggle switch

5.Run Calculations
The tool will calculate your product emissions in just a few minutes.
Step 5: Review Product Emissions
Finally, review the calculated emissions for each product.
Confirm each product shows a CO₂-equivalent value.
Check completeness: products without an assigned assessment will not appear.
Validate results: compare against your expectations or benchmarks.
If results look unusual, return to Assessments, review the data, make corrections, and re-calculate.
Repeat this loop until values look accurate.
You can then export the product emissions list for external use.
