About the PCF World Forum

Consumption of goods and services contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions. Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the climate and environmental impact of their products. They are also needed to provide consumers with the necessary informa tion to make climate-conscious consumption decisions.

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum is a neutral platform to share practical experiences and knowledge towards climate-conscious consumption and production. The international platform provides orientation in current standardisation processes and creates opportunities for discussing international corporate best practices and emerging tools to support low carbon and climate-conscious consumption models.

The PCF World Forum was created out of the ambition to talk with each other and not just about each other. There is an increasing number of initiatives around the world, but the real understanding of respective approaches and activities is limited. Over the past years, representatives from a range of organisations and initiatives have come together at the PCF World Summits, PCF World Forum Update Workshops and dedicated Dialogue Forums Low Carbon Society to give insights into their own work, discuss and interpret current developments and explore possible common pathways.

The PCF World Summits have stimulated several working groups such as the current Task Force on international harmonisation of Product Category Rules (PCR) and direct collaboration between participants.

Day 1, Tuesday, 17 April 2012

Implementation of international carbon footprinting standards gains speed worldwide A lot of effort has been put into developing common stan-dards for carbon footprinting of products and value chains over the past years. A development that has been closely followed by the PCF World Forum community. Though many had worked and hoped for (only) one accepted interna tio nal carbon footprint standard, a positive outcome is the general alignment among the major footprinting standards, particu-larly the GHG Protocol Product Standard and the soon to be published ISO 14067. With the GHG Protocol Standard released in October 2011, focus is more and more shifting towards implementation and use of the new standards. At the 7th PCF World Summit in Berlin we will explore how implementation across sectors and countries is actually taking place: How is the uptake of the new GHG Protocol Standards by programs and sectors progressing? What supporting infrastructure is put into place?

After climate change other (related and independent) sustainability challenges demand similar value chain metrics for practical business managementThe demand put on businesses to understand and manage the environmental consequences of their products and value chains is of course not limited to climate impacts alone. The kind of standardisation that carbon footprinting has seen over the past years is also demanded and evolving for other environmental and social indicators. Examples are water footprinting, biodiversity indicators and indicators for resource use. The French Environmental Labelling Scheme and the EU Environmental Foot printing Methodology incorporate detailed provisions for other environmental indicators. We will take a close look at the current status of these efforts.

There is a general demand to make carbon and environmental footprinting results more comparable Though comparability has been improved significantly over existing LCA standards (ISO 14040/44), the now

released carbon footprint standards still do not provide a sufficient basis for producing comparable results across com panies. As many applications as well as stakeholder demand require comparability (beyond on-pack labelling) significant efforts are undertaken to increase the specificity of carbon and environmental footprint rules. This is taking place in the form of comprehensive policy efforts such as the development of specific environmental footprinting methodologies by the European Commission and across sectors through the formulation of „Product Category Rules“, „Product Rules“, „Sector Guidance“, etc. The Product Category Rules (PCR) Task Force has explored inter-national developments and identified fruitful interventions to produce uniform specifications for product and value chain GHG accounting. In the afternoon of Day 1 of the PCF World Summit, the „PCR Round Table“ will take place to discuss the current status and proposals for internatio-nal PCR alignment. In the past the PCR Round Table has taken place on the day before the PCF World Summit. Due to the importance of the subject we have decided to include it in the main programme this time.

Leveraging carbon and environmental footprint infor mation for environmental benefits and business valueThe reasons for companies to undertake carbon footprint assessments can be very different, e.g. stakeholder de-mand, building brand reputation, reacting to competitor action or even anticipating regulation. What we have seen many times is that companies take some action on carbon footprinting, without realising its full value, such as for reducing environmental impacts and/ or for increasing business value. At the same time we hear about companies such as Tesco putting an end to their carbon labelling activity, because efforts required exceed expected benefits. In a dedicated session participants will explore how to leverage carbon and environmental footprinting efforts for maximising environmental benefits and business value, with a special emphasis on the essential sustainability questions we seek to answer and the infor mation we need for actionable insight.

Summit Focus From Environmental Footprinting to Implementation: Renewable Energy in the Value Chain



These efforts are made in the context of reducing value chain environmental impacts and achieving „zero emission“ operations and value chains.Coming from a carbon and environmental footprinting viewpoint immediate questions are: What is really driving reductions in GHG emissions and environmental impacts? What role does the use of (fossile) energy play? What role does the use of renewable energy play and how is it adequately accounted for?

Already at the last PCF World Summit we have addressed the question of adequate accounting for green power in carbon and environmental footprinting. Day 2 of the PCF World Summit will continue this discussion and furthermore explore motivation, strategies and initiatives for increasing renewable energy use in products and value chains. The related issue of natural resource use in products and value chains will be addressed at the up-coming 8th PCF World Summit.

Day 2, Wednesday, 18 April 2012

Driving value chain sustainability: Renewable energy in products and value chains on top of the agenda of many leading businessesLeading companies take an active stance on powering their operations and value chains with renewable energy:

▶ Can we power our operations from 100% renewable energy? (Google)

▶ Using 100% renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging, powering our plants with 100% renewable energy. (P&G)

▶ Volkswagen and Audi plan a major shift towards green energy by investing in wind farms and selling the electricity as part of a package to power its electric cars. (Audi)

▶ We will more than double our use of renewable energy to 40% of our total energy requirements by 2020. We recognisethatthisisonlyafirststeptowardsalong-termgoal of 100% renewable energy. (Unilever)

09:45 Keynote

▶ Role of renewable energy in achieving the Vision 2050 convened by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development

Thierry BerthoudWorld Business Council for Sustainable Development, Switzerland

The WBCSD Vision 2050 envisages a world of 9 billion people “living well, within natural resource limits”. To meet an increased energy demand, while reducing GHG emissions to half of 2005 levels, means substantial changes in the global energy system. This challenge imposes the share of renewable energy to increase sig-nificantly. In parallel, the elements of choice of their behaviour and consumption should be made available for end-users and consumers to induce, upstream the value chain, the sequence of investment decisions and business practices which will lead to a low carbon economy in 2050. The conditions to make this happen will be discussed.

About Thierry BerthoudThierry Berthoud is currently managing director energy & climate at the WBCSD, in Geneva. As an engineer, holding a PhD in materials sciences, he spent the first part of his career with the French nuclear public industry and the second part with global companies, 17 years in the aluminium industry (Pechiney, Alcan) and 3 years with Alstom Power. He held positions in various capacities (R&D, government relations, strategy, business development) always with a large international exposure and in connection with energy issues.

10:20 Carbon and environmental footprinting: Developments, implementation and supporting programmes (1)

▶ The French Environmental Labelling Scheme: Preliminary outcomes of the experimentation phase and future outlook

Martin BortzmeyerMinistry of Sustainable Development, France

Sustainable household consumption can be an important engine for a greener economic growth. In France, the “Grenelle” environmental laws include the right for consumers to have information on the environmental performance of (mass market) products at the point of sale. It is expected that providing consumers with this envi-ronmental information could lead the whole chain, agricultural producers to retailers, to market more sustainable goods. In our presentation, we will first present some other European and international, public and private initiatives, then the methodo-logical challenges and finally the latest developments of the French system, which is unique in the world because of three main characteristics: i) it relies on a legislative pillar, ii) it aims at providing a life-cycle based and multi criteria environmental infor-mation (including but going beyond the product carbon footprint, with, for example, a water footprint representing water pollution and consumption or other environmental challenges) and iii) because it could be generalised in France in the future. There will be a need to harmonise the different European initiatives, so France clearly and strongly supports European methodological developments.

About Martin BortzmeyerThe unit “integration of environment in agricultural policies” is concerned with global and local environmental impacts of agriculture. Applying assessment methods either at the agricultural practices level or at the agricultural policies level, the unit mobilizes different agro-environment indicators in order to propose evolutions of the agricultural policies and instruments.

▶ Update on European Guidelines on how to measure the Environmental Footprint of Products and Organisations

Rana PantJoint Research Centre / European Commission, Italy

This is an update on the development of European guidelines for measuring the environmental footprint of products (covering goods and services) and organisa-tions that is carried out in close co-operation between DG Environment and the Joint


Research Centre of the European Commission. The objective is to support decision-making processes in business and policy with a comprehensive multi-criteria set of indicators based on the robust and quality assured measurement of environmental performance. This is to overcome some identified shortcomings of other existing methods that for example focus on a single indicator.

About Rana PantRana Pant is an environmental engineer by training and holds a PhD in engineering from the Darmstadt University of Technology. Before joining the European Com-mission in June 2008 he worked for over 8 years with a multinational consumer goods company on topics related to integrated waste management and on LCA. From 2005 until April 2008 he chaired the LCA Steering Committee of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC, Europe), the leading scientific organisation in the LCA area. Since Rana Pant joined the European Commission in the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), he has taken over responsibilities related to solid waste and Life Cycle Think-ing, Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), the European Platform on LCA (EPLCA), the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook and the Envi-ronmental Footprint for products and organisations.

▶ Sustainable public procurement: Guidelines on use of environmental product standards and labels in the U.S. government procurement process

Nancy GillisGeneral Services Administration, USA

The proliferation of eco-labels (more than 400 worldwide) and lack of a policy on use of 3rd party environmental standards and labels in public procurements has hindered the progress towards sustainable public procurement in the USA. The “Section 13 Inter-agency Working Group” has developed a set of guidelines for selecting environ-mental standards and eco-labels as well as recommendations on how to implement these guidelines into the U.S. public procurement process. This session provides an overview of the recommended guidelines and potential implementation methods.

About Nancy GillisNancy Gillis directs the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Chain Emissions Program Management Office (PMO), which is tasked to create and promote a more sustainable federal supply chain. She chairs the Section 13 Interagency Working Group, addressing the technical and policy recommendations outlined in the EO 13514 Vendor and Contractor Emissions report, manages the Sustainable Supply Chain Community of Practice, a collaborative effort between industry/academia/non-profits seeking to reduce environmental impacts through-out the supply chain, and manages the Sustainability in Procurement Fellowship, a government-wide programme focused on leveraging procurement to increase federal government sustainability.

▶ Product Carbon Footprint Pilot Project Quebec: The first step towards comparable carbon footprint certification

Sophie FallahaCIRAIG, Canada

Despite the latest developments regarding methodological harmonisation, a main challenge for labelling is to provide enough specificity to enable a consistent com-parability of carbon footprints through the development of product rules. In order to


address these challenges, the government of Quebec launched a pilot project as a first step in the implementation of a $24M carbon footprint labelling initiative. Aiming to create an initiative with solid foundations based on international best practices, the Quebec government joined forces with CIRAIG. The pilot project will compare different protocols to assess result reproducibility. This will contribute to the advancement of environmental labelling.

About Sophie FallahaSenior analyst at CIRAIG (Interuniversity Research Centre for the Life Cycle of Products, Processes and Services), Sophie Fallaha holds a Bachelor degree in chemical engineering from the École Polytechnique of Montreal. She completed her graduate studies at CIRAIG (École Polytechnique of Montreal), where her re-search focused on LCA and greenhouse accounting. Consultant at Bio Intelligence Services (Paris) and then at Sanexen Environmental Services (Montreal), she is back at CIRAIG since 2011. Her latest work focuses on carbon footprint, verification, certification and labelling of products as she is the project manager of the Carbon Footprint Pilot Project from the Quebec government at CIRAIG.

▶ Input presentation: Global survey of product guidance (PCRs, sector guidance etc.)

Karen FisherEnvironmental Resources Management, UK

This session will present findings of WRAP’s Product Research Forum survey of ex-isting guidance for grocery and home improvement (HI) products. A review was con-ducted on programmes producing quantification-related product guidance, including: Type III EPD schemes, PCF schemes, water and multi-criteria footprinting schemes, Type I eco-labelling schemes, and various sector initiatives. Areas of proliferation, duplication and key gaps in guidance were identified and will be discussed. The Forum’s focus is on grocery and HI products, with priority product groups deter-mined based on sales and impact potential. However, a library of product guidance documents for all HI/grocery products has been developed.

About Karen FisherKaren Fisher has managed the development of thousands of PCFs (including >1000 for Tesco) over the last 9 years, was on the steering group for the revision of the PAS 2050 and drafted the newly revised Guide to PAS 2050.

▶ Input presentation: An initiative to establish a global product category rule registry

Sven-Olof Ryding Anne-Marie KerkhofSEMCo, Sweden PRé Consultants, Netherlands

From a market perspective, there are strong arguments to establish an interna-tional system for making informed comparisons using environmental declarations or carbon footprint of products. In this context, PCRs are essential for securing the credibility of such comparisons. In order to avoid double work and market distortion, a global PCR registry will facilitate the availability of well-established PCRs from dif-ferent programme operators around the world.PRé Consultants and SEMCo are currently cooperating in developing the PCR Registry within the framework of GEDnet (the Global Environmental Declarations Network) to facilitate harmonisation of PCR work and meet market expectations on easily available PCR information.

2. Leveraging carbon and environmental footprinting efforts: Driving the effective implementation, use and disclosure of carbon and environmental footprints

Large-scale businesses adoption of product footprinting is contingent on a solid val-ue proposition. We should strive for new business insights and value from our prod-uct footprinting or LCA activities. One way to better leverage our product footprinting investments is to expand the business context by combining product footprint results with other commercial data, allowing us to address bigger business questions, such as “Does my product portfolio have a good balance between revenue, margin and sustainability impact?”, “How is the impact of my products shared across my cus-tomers?” and “Am I using my spending power responsibly?”. Actionable insight from such new business intelligence elevates the value of product footprinting as core enabler for effective business sustainability programmes.

▶ The role of business towards 100 % renewable energy

Stephan SingerWWF International, Belgium

Energy consumption per unit of turnover in consumer good, retail and food sec-tors is typically much lower than that of the classic energy-intensive industries. Yet, companies with a clear business-to-consumer and brand value outreach may also consume large amounts of electricity in total. At the same time they are also much more sensitive to reputational issues and often can easily afford larger purchase of ‘costly’ renewable power. WWF is strongly in favour of legally-binding targets for renewables as the primary de-livery mechanism but in the absence of those and in the presence of weak objectives, voluntary and additional actions by the market leaders will pull the sector and push policy to start legislating more ambitious targets in order to also cover the laggards.

About Stephan SingerStephan Singer has been leading the European Climate and Energy Policy Unit since 1999. Previously he worked for WWF Germany and for the GTZ/German min-istry of economic co-operation in Hyderabad, India in co-operation with the World Bank on rural poverty alleviation. He is now a Honorary Member of the WindMade Board, the Board of the Renewable Energy & the Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) and the Board of the Renewables-Grid-Initiative (RGI).

He will then introduce major issues for the possible future recognition of supplier specific emission factors.

About Rasmus PriessPlease see above


▶ Provisions for „Green Power“ in the upcoming GHG Protocol Power Accounting Guidelines

Mary SotosWorld Resources Institute, USA

The GHG Protocol has begun a process to develop power accounting guidelines that will provide an international framework establishing principles and practices for the use of contractual energy purchasing mechanisms in scope 2 corporate inventories. Some of these mechanisms include supplier-specific renewable energy products/labels, direct contracts with generators, or purchasing tracking certificates. The guidelines will specify policy-neutral criteria and procedures necessary for clear and consistent accounting, addressing the unique policy variations in different countries or regions.

About Mary SotosMary Sotos is a project leader with the GHG Protocol programme at World Re-sources Institute, a Washington DC-based think tank. She leads the development of the forthcoming international GHG accounting guidance for renewable energy purchases.

▶ Outlook: Renewable Supply Chain Project

With private market uptake of renewable energy and sustainably harvested natural resources growing, questions around operationalisation and implementation are amounting: What does 100 % renewable energy and natural resources in products and value chains actually mean? What is good renewable energy? How do I pro-mote uptake of renewable energy/ natural resources in my own value chain in face of different energy markets? The upcoming Renewable Supply Chain Project is a cross-sector partnership that is addressing these and other questions on the road to fully renewable value chains.

About Guido AxmannGuido Axmann is co-founder and managing director of THEMA1, a Berlin-based think-do-tank specialised in accelerating the transition to a low carbon society. Current projects: PCF World Forum, Platform for Climate Compatible Consumption Germany, Renewable Supply Chain Project, Green Music Initiative, Grid Master Class and Renewables-Grid-Initiative.

16:00 Pitfalls and opportunities in renewable energy use in companies, products and value chainsFacilitated discussion on privat market uptake of renewable energy. What are driv-ers? What are barriers? Where are opportunities?
