26 Sep 2022 --- Thirty-seven chemical industry companies, including BASF, have agreed on a global standard for estimating product carbon footprints (PCFs), as part of the collaborative initiative “Together for Sustainability” (TfS) with the aim of facilitating uniformity. The new TfS guideline for PCFs gives detailed calculation instructions for carbon emissions from the moment chemicals are produced to when they enter the stores. PCFs are said to be vital for directing emissions in the value chain.
