In an exciting milestone for our sustainability journey, VPK Group officially launched its Product Carbon Footprint Calculator on 12th December during an exclusive customer event at our headquarters in Belgium. This innovative tool underlines our commitment to transparency and collaboration, equipping our customers with the insights they need to make climate responsible packaging decisions.
A tool for transparency and informed decisions
The Product Carbon Footprint Calculator is a cutting-edge solution designed to provide our customers with accurate and detailed carbon footprint data for their packaging solutions. By leveraging this tool, our customers gain access to valuable insights into the climate impact of their packaging, enabling them to align their choices with their sustainability goals and Scope 3 emissions reporting.
“At VPK, we understand that our customers are increasingly focused on reducing their carbon footprint,” said Nicolas Macharis, Head of International Sales. “With this tool, we not only demonstrate our dedication to sustainability but also provide our customers with the transparency they need to make informed decisions and map their Scope 3 emissions.”
How it works
The Product Carbon Footprint Calculator uses the PACT (Partnership for Carbon Transparency) methodology, fully aligned with the GHG Protocol and ISO standards. It operates on a cradle-to-gate principle, calculating the carbon intensity (PCF) of specific products in grams of CO2e per unit. This ensures a consistent and reliable framework for measuring environmental impact.
Our internal teams operate the tool, ensuring precise and efficient data handling. The results are shared with our customers through detailed product specification sheets or comprehensive portfolio overviews, tailored to their specific needs.
Sustainability in action
The launch of the Product Carbon Footprint Calculator aligns with VPK Group’s broader sustainability strategy, which prioritizes innovation and accountability in reducing climate impact. As a frontrunner in the industry, VPK Group is leading the way in emissions reporting and transparency. This tool also supports collaborative climate action by helping companies mapping their Scope 3 emissions to create actionable plans. Our shared goal: reducing emissions and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
