About the PCF World Forum

Consumption of goods and services contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions. Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the climate and environmental impact of their products. They are also needed to provide consumers with the necessary informa tion to make climate-conscious consumption decisions.

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum is a neutral platform to share practical experiences and knowledge towards climate-conscious consumption and production. The international platform provides orientation in current standardisation processes and creates opportunities for discussing international 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. There is an increasing number of initiatives around the world, but the real understanding of respective approaches and activities is limited. Over the past years, representatives from a range of organisations and initiatives have come together at the PCF World Summits, PCF World Forum Update Workshops and dedicated Dialogue Forums 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 (PCR) and direct collaboration between participants.

Day 1, Tuesday, 17 April 2012

Implementation of international carbon footprinting standards gains speed worldwide A lot of effort has been put into developing common stan-dards for carbon footprinting of products and value chains over the past years. A development that has been closely followed by the PCF World Forum community. Though many had worked and hoped for (only) one accepted interna tio nal carbon footprint standard, a positive outcome is the general alignment among the major footprinting standards, particu-larly the GHG Protocol Product Standard and the soon to be published ISO 14067. With the GHG Protocol Standard released in October 2011, focus is more and more shifting towards implementation and use of the new standards. At the 7th PCF World Summit in Berlin we will explore how implementation across sectors and countries is actually taking place: How is the uptake of the new GHG Protocol Standards by programs and sectors progressing? What supporting infrastructure is put into place?

After climate change other (related and independent) sustainability challenges demand similar value chain metrics for practical business managementThe demand put on businesses to understand and manage the environmental consequences of their products and value chains is of course not limited to climate impacts alone. The kind of standardisation that carbon footprinting has seen over the past years is also demanded and evolving for other environmental and social indicators. Examples are water footprinting, biodiversity indicators and indicators for resource use. The French Environmental Labelling Scheme and the EU Environmental Foot printing Methodology incorporate detailed provisions for other environmental indicators. We will take a close look at the current status of these efforts.

There is a general demand to make carbon and environmental footprinting results more comparable Though comparability has been improved significantly over existing LCA standards (ISO 14040/44), the now

released carbon footprint standards still do not provide a sufficient basis for producing comparable results across com panies. As many applications as well as stakeholder demand require comparability (beyond on-pack labelling) significant efforts are undertaken to increase the specificity of carbon and environmental footprint rules. This is taking place in the form of comprehensive policy efforts such as the development of specific environmental footprinting methodologies by the European Commission and across sectors through the formulation of „Product Category Rules“, „Product Rules“, „Sector Guidance“, etc. The Product Category Rules (PCR) Task Force has explored inter-national developments and identified fruitful interventions to produce uniform specifications for product and value chain GHG accounting. In the afternoon of Day 1 of the PCF World Summit, the „PCR Round Table“ will take place to discuss the current status and proposals for internatio-nal PCR alignment. In the past the PCR Round Table has taken place on the day before the PCF World Summit. Due to the importance of the subject we have decided to include it in the main programme this time.

Leveraging carbon and environmental footprint infor mation for environmental benefits and business valueThe reasons for companies to undertake carbon footprint assessments can be very different, e.g. stakeholder de-mand, building brand reputation, reacting to competitor action or even anticipating regulation. What we have seen many times is that companies take some action on carbon footprinting, without realising its full value, such as for reducing environmental impacts and/ or for increasing business value. At the same time we hear about companies such as Tesco putting an end to their carbon labelling activity, because efforts required exceed expected benefits. In a dedicated session participants will explore how to leverage carbon and environmental footprinting efforts for maximising environmental benefits and business value, with a special emphasis on the essential sustainability questions we seek to answer and the infor mation we need for actionable insight.

Summit Focus From Environmental Footprinting to Implementation: Renewable Energy in the Value Chain



These efforts are made in the context of reducing value chain environmental impacts and achieving „zero emission“ operations and value chains.Coming from a carbon and environmental footprinting viewpoint immediate questions are: What is really driving reductions in GHG emissions and environmental impacts? What role does the use of (fossile) energy play? What role does the use of renewable energy play and how is it adequately accounted for?

Already at the last PCF World Summit we have addressed the question of adequate accounting for green power in carbon and environmental footprinting. Day 2 of the PCF World Summit will continue this discussion and furthermore explore motivation, strategies and initiatives for increasing renewable energy use in products and value chains. The related issue of natural resource use in products and value chains will be addressed at the up-coming 8th PCF World Summit.

Day 2, Wednesday, 18 April 2012

Driving value chain sustainability: Renewable energy in products and value chains on top of the agenda of many leading businessesLeading companies take an active stance on powering their operations and value chains with renewable energy:

▶ Can we power our operations from 100% renewable energy? (Google)

▶ Using 100% renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging, powering our plants with 100% renewable energy. (P&G)

▶ Volkswagen and Audi plan a major shift towards green energy by investing in wind farms and selling the electricity as part of a package to power its electric cars. (Audi)

▶ We will more than double our use of renewable energy to 40% of our total energy requirements by 2020. We recognisethatthisisonlyafirststeptowardsalong-termgoal of 100% renewable energy. (Unilever)

▶ To be supplied by 100% renewable energy. (Walmart)
