Measuring the Environmental Performance of Products using LCA
The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) measures the environmental performance of a good or service throughout its life cycle with the goal of reducing environmental impacts from the supply chain activities from extraction of raw materials, through production use and to waste management. Developed by the European Union as part of the Single Market for green Products Initiative, PEF uses uniform methods to compare and communicate the environmental information of products and services within their categories.
Product manufactures across all industries can analyze, compare, and communicate their impacts to satisfy consumer demands for transparency. SCS Global Services works with clients who want to calculate the PEF of their products, identify hotspots, and risk management opportunities and communicate their impacts to stakeholders.
