PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINT VERIFICATION
Independent verification of Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) aligned with ISO 14067, helping you build confidence in your product carbon data for customer communications, procurement, sustainability reporting, and product claims.
Build trust in your product carbon data
Product Carbon Footprints are becoming an essential tool for understanding product-level emissions and demonstrating climate performance. As companies increasingly use PCFs to support procurement requirements, customer requests, sustainability reporting, and environmental claims, confidence in the underlying data is more important than ever.
SustainCERT independently verifies Product Carbon Footprints in accordance with ISO 14067 for companies across the food, agriculture, apparel, chemical, and manufacturing sectors. Our experts review the methodology, calculations, and supporting evidence to confirm that product carbon data is accurate, transparent, and technically robust.
Drawing on deep expertise in product and value chain GHG accounting, we provide independent assurance that helps organizations communicate verified product carbon data with confidence and make informed decisions based on trusted emissions data.
Why verify your Product Carbon Footprint?
Build trust with stakeholders
Provide independently verified product carbon data that gives customers, buyers, investors, and other stakeholders confidence in your climate claims.
Differentiate your products
Stand out in the market with independently verified Product Carbon Footprints and the SustainCERT Product Carbon Footprint Label.
Support reporting and informed decisions
Confirm that your product carbon footprint calculations are methodologically sound, consistent, and ready for reporting and external communication.
Why independent verification matters
Product Carbon Footprints rely on methodological choices, activity data, emission factors, and assumptions. Differences in how footprints are calculated can affect results and reduce confidence in product-level emissions data.
Independent verification provides assurance that your Product Carbon Footprints have been developed using a consistent and transparent methodology in accordance with ISO 14067. This strengthens confidence in your data and supports credible communication with customers, business partners, and other stakeholders.
SustainCERT PCF Label
Demonstrate that your Product Carbon Footprints have been independently verified with a label that communicates credibility at a glance.
The SustainCERT Product Carbon Footprint Label confirms that a product's carbon footprint has been independently verified in line with ISO 14067 and can be displayed across products, websites, marketing materials, and other customer communications.
What is a Product Carbon Footprint?
A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) measures the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material sourcing and production to distribution, use, and end of life. Results are expressed in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent (kg CO₂e).
By quantifying emissions at the product level, PCFs help organizations identify hotspots, prioritise emissions reductions, compare improvement scenarios, and communicate product climate performance to customers and other stakeholders.

Need an LCA Critical Review instead?
Product Carbon Footprint Verification confirms greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product in line with ISO 14067.
If your study evaluates multiple environmental impacts or supports comparative assertions, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Critical Review provides an independent review of the methodology, assumptions, and interpretation against ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
