Seminar Abstract
The accounting of product-level carbon emission is of critical importance for companies, not only for disclosure requirements but also to steer and track decarbonization efforts. BASF has set-up a comprehensive program and a robust tool-set to determine the product carbon footprint of its entire portfolio of 45,000 products. At the same time, it is actively engaging with peers, customers, suppliers and partners to drive carbon footprint transparency in value chains.
