Accelerating your transition to net-zero while operating profitably

Product Carbon Footprint Calculator

The pressure is growing on manufacturing companies to respond to the threat of global warming. To meet the 2015 Paris Agreement’s global-warming cap, emissions must be reduced to reach net-zero by 2050. Manufacturing companies struggle to make trade-offs between driving down carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions, reducing product costs and addressing customer value demands. But how can companies advance their carbon-reduction goals while operating profitably?
