Individual products for which a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is to be created can be created in the Product List tab. Firstly, basic product information is entered. This step is a prerequisite for creating a report and entering the associated activity data.
Please note that the Company tab must also be filled in completely and correctly before the report is created.
Once a new product is added, the object of assessment Single product is selected by default. Assign a product name and optionally a product code. Click on Add product to create the entry.
All created products and their associated information are clearly displayed in the table.
The list can be sorted by product name or product code. Existing entries can be edited or deleted. Please note that:
- changes to a product do not have a retroactive effect on reports that have already been created.
- when a product is deleted, the associated data will also be removed. It will no longer be possible to generate a PCF report for this product. Existing PCF reports will remain unaffected.
For the PCF calculation, only one product at a single location is considered. The emissions are fully allocated to the product under consideration - separated by life cycle phase - and then totalled across all phases. Going forward, functions for recording sub-products and multiple locations will gradually be made available at this point.
