Renewable Resources in the Value Chain:A Viable Option for Reducing Environmental Footprints?

About the PCF World Forum

Consumption of goods and services contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions and other environmental challenges. 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 information to make climate-conscious consumption decisions.

To navigate these challenges and provide orientation in the often complex world of carbon and environmental footprinting the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum was established. It is a neutral platform for companiesandotherstakeholderstoshareandreflecton challenges, practical experiences, initiatives, tools and insights towards climate-conscious consumption and production.

The PCF World Forum was created out of the ambition to talk with each other and not just about each other. There are an increasing number of initiatives in the world, but the real understanding of respective approaches and activities is often 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 Task Force on international harmoni sation of Product Category Rules (PCR) and direct collaboration between participants.

▶ Carbon and environmental footprinting: How are stan-dards, initiatives and their implementation progressing?

▶ What does carbon footprint reality look like? Is carbon footprinting driving real change or just binding valuable resources?

▶ Is renewable resource use (e.g. bioplastics) in products a viable option for reducing carbon and environmental footprints?

▶ How is their use reflected in carbon and environmental footprint standards?

▶ How are initiatives working to ensure an ecologically balanced use of renewable resources?

The 8th PCF World Summit will feature updates, business viewpoints and dialogue around these and related questions.

The stage is set by updates on international and selected national carbon and environmental footprints standards and initiatives, such as ISO 14067 "Carbon Footprint of Products", the GHG Protocol, the EU Environmental Footprinting Methodology, the French Environmental Product Declaration Scheme and the Product Carbon Footprint Project in Québec.

In dedicated parallel tracks specifictopicsarediscussedbased on input presentations by participants:

▶ Evidence and insights on renewable resource use in products based on carbon and environmental footprinting business case studies will be presented and discussed

▶ Alternative/complementary approaches to assessing sustainability in value chains, particularly the use of extended Input-Output Models (E-IO) and economic valuation techniques

▶ Also a carbon footprint track for participants who are new to carbon footprinting (carbon footprinting for "beginners") will be offered: Basic introduction to methods, initiatives and frequently asked questions.

Stakeholder viewpoints, initiatives and certification schemes on renewable resourse use in products will provide an understanding of current developments and critical issues in renewable resource use.

Morethanfiveyearsintothedevelopmentofcarbon footprinting methodologies and tools, the current situation of carbon footprinting is assessed:

▶ Business viewpoints on carbon footprint reality will provide an understanding of how carbon footprinting implementation is taking place in reality and what role it actually plays

▶ In a plenary debate we are asking the questions: "Quo vadis carbon footprinting – Too much talking or real change?"

The Summit programme also allows for ample networking opportunities, including the Low Carbon Network Dinner in the evening of Day 1 (premium registration required).

Production and consumption of goods and services contributetosignificantsharesinworldwideGHG emissions and global environmental challenges. Gaining an understanding of these full-life cycle climate and environmental impacts and their targeted mitigation is of importance to corporations, policymakers and civil society alike.

Based on a long history of general standards for life cycle assessments,morerefinedstandardsandtoolsforuniformand comparable carbon and environmental footprinting have been developed over the past couple of years. Examples are the GHG Protocol Standards for Product Life Cycle and Value Chain GHG Accounting, ISO 14067 "Carbon Footprint of Products", the French Environmental Declaration Scheme and the ongoing EU Environmental Footprinting Project or more hotspot driven approaches such as the Sustainability Measurement and Reporting System by the Sustainability Consortium. These increasingly enter mainstream business applications andinfluenceprocurement strategies and consumer communication.

However,significantimprovementsinGHGemissionsand environmental impacts must still be achieved across sectors and product categories, on individual organisational as well as global absolute levels. The refinement and implementation of standards and tools hence remains a dynamic topic and its current status is presented and discussed at the 8th PCF World Summit.

Efforts are going beyond measuring carbon and environmental footprints of products and value chains to significantlyimprovingthem.Specificinterventions,suchas the widespread use of renewable energy and renew-able resources, are of particular importance. Both promise significantreductionsinenvironmentalimpacts,giventhatconditions for their sustainable use are met and this can be adequately demonstrated by implementing companies.

The use of renewable energy in products and value chains was treated in more detail at the 7th PCF World Summit. At the upcoming 8th PCF World Summit more emphasis is placed on the use of renewable resources in products, such as biobased plastics and the particular insights and challenges with regard to carbon and environmental footprinting methodology, certification and communication and relevant international initiatives.
