The value of PCFs

Uncover your product emissions. Unlock business value.

Requests for product carbon footprints are already appearing in purchase terms before any mandate requires them, while Digital Product Passport requirements will come into play in 2027. The companies getting ahead aren’t waiting, they’re using PCF data to differentiate themselves in procurement, satisfying buyers, regulators, and investors, from a central system of record.

Verified emissions data wins deals.

PCF is already a differentiator in supplier scoring. When a prospect or customer asks, you can answer in hours rather than weeks with product-level data based on transparent methodologies.

One source of truth.

Meet buyer requests, report for investors and manage CSRD disclosures from one centralized system. Your team no longer needs to maintain several spreadsheets with five different answers.

Value that compounds

As you build PCFs, you can leverage them in your scope 3 reporting over time. It’s not a one-time cost, it’s an asset that gets more useful over time.

How different teams
benefit from PCFs

Sustainability Managers

Run your entire PCF programme at scale, leveraging our massive emissions database. No new silo, no rework. PCF calculations flow into what you’re already building, with audit-ready validation and methodology transparency built in.

Category Managers

Calculate the footprint of every product in your inventory so you can make better-informed procurement decisions. You’ll be able to identify emissions hotposts and act on them, so that suppliers can contribute to meeting your targets. And whenever PCF questions show up in RFPs, investor presentations, and procurement conversations, answer with numbers that are aligned with standards like PACT and ISO 14067, and methodology that can be scrutinized, not spend proxies or industry averages.

Product Designers

Model scenarios to uncover how factors such as different materials, or the manufacturing location could impact the PCF of your product. Save time, money and your reduction targets by ensuring your products meet internal sustainability requirements, before you’ve even made it to beta testing.

How the PCF process works

A clear process. Results you can stand behind.

Take the leap from your existing product data to verified, reportable PCFs. No specialist knowledge required to get started.

Start your journey

  • Upload your product data

    Normative ingests your existing Bill of Materials exports, spend data, or supplier information, in bulk. 

  • Review and verify

    Normative categorizes each line item and matches it to emission factors to reduce workload and risk of human error, with every number traceable back to its source. Then, before anything is finalized, you get to review and adjust the categories to maintain control over your data.

  • Share and report

    Export PCFs ready for regulatory submissions, customer requests, or RFP responses. Results are auditable, methodology is transparent, and the standards your buyers already expect are built in.
