4 | Foreword

In the absence of strong regulation “society” passes responsibility on to economic actors to address important environmen-tal challenges: To companies, consumers and their stakeholders. Over the years valuable methods have been developed, particularly “life cycle assessments” to understand and address the environmental impacts of products. However, with rising public concern of major environmental challenges, the interest in customer-oriented information on the environmental impact of goods and services has also risen, effectively requiring more specific rules for measuring and reporting on product environ-mental impacts. For the major environmental challenge of climate change, this has been pursued by creating more detailed standards for product and value chain carbon foot-printing, such as the GHG Protocol Product and Scope 3 Standards. A development that was closely followed and discussed within

the PCF World Forum and also originally sparked its creation.

However, major questions remain unanswered:

• How can more environmentally friendly products be identified in the marketplace?

• What really defines a more environmentally friendly or more sustainable product?

• What is the boundary between green claims and greenwashing?

• Who should decide what constitutes a more environmentally friendly product?

• And how can the provision of more environ-mentally friendly products be incentivised?

A coherent answer to these questions is still lacking for many industries. With the recent Communication on “Building the Single Market for Green Products” and the recommended use of new environmental footprinting methodologies the European

Why a Product Environmental Footprint Policy Conference?


Commission has passed a remarkable mile-stone for a possible future answer to these questions, while effectively addressing many frequently raised stakeholder concerns:

• Any comprehensive product sustain-ability approach should take into account more than climate change

• A fragmentation of methodologies and approaches in different markets may lead to increased efforts in industry and also possible confusion with consumers – a level playing field is needed

• Comparability and communication of product sustainability in the marketplace must influence the scrutiny of underlying methodologies

Of course, also many questions arise, e.g. the effort required for the implementation of the environmental footprinting methodologies, how benchmarks in different sectors are eventually defined and how these will trans-late in possible “communication vehicles”.

This, taken together, provides enough impetus to develop an early understand-ing of open questions, next steps and perspectives from different stakeholders on the future use of the detailed product

environmental footprinting methodology and respective policy options. We are happy to have the opportunity to discuss the EU Envi-ronmental Footprinting plans at such an early and crucial stage. All participants are invited to actively contribute to the open dialogue to sharpen our common understanding of the road ahead.

One last thought: Many have asked if we would like to change the name of the PCF World Forum to PEF World Forum, acknowl-edging the need to look at all environmental impacts and just carbon. I agree. At the same time I firmly believe that we need to profoundly address each environmental challenge. Carbon footprinting has paved the way to also now look at other environmental impacts in more detail. But this work is not completed yet, and being too broad too early may obscure sight of important details. So whatever route we take we remain committed to carbon footprinting and addressing overall sustainability of products – step by step.

I wish for a fruitful dialogue at the PEF Policy Conference!

Consumption of goods and services indirectly contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions. Efforts are underway to better understand, manage and reduce these emissions. Standards and tools for carbon footprinting as well as more comprehensive environmental and sustain-ability metrics are developed, refined and practically tested.

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 inter-national 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 given the ever increasing number of initiatives around the world and often little real understanding of respective approaches and activities.

PCF World Forum is an initiative by Berlin based think-do-tank THEMA1.

Sylvain Chevassus will summarise the outcome of the French National Experiment on environmental labelling and discuss its future development in light of the recent communication by the European Commission on environmental footprinting.

About Sylvain ChevassusAfter many years in various Brussel based organisations (European Environ-mental Bureau, Council of European Municipalities and Regions), since 2008, Sylvain Chevassus has been working on sustainable consumption and production policy at the French Sustainable Development Ministry. His more particular mission is to establish links between EU and national policy, notably on environmental footprint issues.

▶ A German government perspective on EU environmental footprinting

Ines OehmeFederal Environment Agency (UBA), Germany

Dr. Ines Oehme will provide an introduction to the approach and perspective of the Ministry of Environment and the Federal Environment Agency of Germany on environmental footprinting and the recent communication of the European Commission on “Building the Single Market for Green Products”. She will especially focus on the implementability in product policy instruments and highlight the advantages and the threats which could result for existing environmental product information instruments.


About Ines OehmeInes Oehme studied chemistry at the Mining Academy of Freiberg (Germany) and obtained her PhD at the University of Graz (Austria).

▶ A Swiss perspective on Green Economy and environmental footprinting

Marie-Amélie Dupraz-ArdiotFederal Office for the Environment (FOEN), Switzerland

On March 8th 2013 the Swiss Federal Council adopted an action plan on Green economy. The action plan addresses four priority fields, a.o. “consumption and products”. Some measures contained in that plan will require changes in the Swiss legislation. One measure directly aims at improving environmental product infor-mation, with the development of quality requirements.

▶ Business perspective: Full product transparency

Ramon ArratiaInterface, Spain

Ramon will outline a path towards a more practical era for ‘corporate responsibility’, where companies make real environmental gains based on hard facts, using life-cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental product declarations (EPDs).

In the past decade, thousands of companies have started the journey towards sustainability, leading to a huge supporting industry of sustainability professionals, lorry loads of corporate reports, and a plethora of green labels and marketing claims. Ramon Arratia argues that it’s now time to transform this new industry by cutting out all the fluff and instead focusing on full product transparency (FPT). In the world of FPT, companies carry out LCAs for all their products and services, identifying their biggest impacts and where they can make the greatest differ-ence. They disclose the full environmental impacts of their products using easily understood metrics, allowing customers to make meaningful comparisons in their purchasing decisions and providing governments with a platform to reward products and services with the lowest impacts.

About Ramon ArratiaRamon is European Sustainability Director for Interface. He provides direction and leadership in the area of sustainability. In addition to guiding Interface’s sustainability strategy towards Mission Zero, he reviews all products and business processes to ensure they are as sustainable as possible.

09:30 PCR and PEFCR development – Outlook on the upcoming EU pilot project

▶ Outlook on the EU pilot and testing project on environmental footprinting and the development of Environmental Footprint Category Rules

Michele GalatolaDG Environment, European Commission, Belgium

Together with the Communication on “Building the Single Market for Green Products” the European Commission has announced a three-year testing period for further refining the environmental footprint approach. Its objectives are:

• to set up and validate the process of the development of product group-specific rules (Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules – PEFCRs), including the development of performance benchmarks

• to make the application of the environmental footprint methods easier, especially for SMEs, by testing innovative ways of managing the process and through the development of tools

• to test different compliance and verification systems, in order to set up and validate proportionate, effective and efficient compliance and verification systems

• to test different business-to-business and business-to-consumer communication vehicles for PEF information in collaboration with stakeholders

Michele Galatola will explain objectives of the pilot, its timing, the governance structure and the post-pilot follow up.

About Michele GalatolaDr Michele Galatola has a degree and post-doc in Environmental Sciences with about 13 years working experience in the area of waste and wastewater treatments, cleaner production, certification systems and, mainly, Life Cycle Thinking and Life Cycle Assessment. After having worked for several years in the Italian National Research Center for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment he has joined in 2005 the European Commission.

He and his team are responsible for some product-related policy tools (Ecolabel, Green Public Procurement) and are leading the development and imple-mentation of the now published EU Environmental Footprint methodologies.

▶ Technical challenges in the development of Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs)

Rana PantDG Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission, Italy

The role of PEFCRs is to increase the consistency in approaches and the relevance and comparability of results of PEF studies. PEFCRs also are to be developed with the objective to increase the efficiency by reducing time, efforts and costs of reliable and quality assured PEF studies as decision support for policies and business. This should be achieved by providing clear and sometimes prescriptive guidance and by helping to focus on the most important issues. Related to the development and testing of Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs), amongst others, a few technical challenges arise: When developing PEFCRs, the scope of the product category needs to be defined in a way that they are sufficiently broad to enable meaningful comparisons of products providing the same function on the one side, while remaining focused enough to be manageable also from a process point of view on the other side. Different approaches can be taken such as a) a need-based approach b) a functional approach and c) a material-based approach (e.g. for intermediate products). Each of these approaches has its advantages and dis-advantages.The question how to identify the most relevant life cycle stages and the most relevant impact categories also will be one of the challenges. Rana Pant will provide an outlook on the development of Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules – PEFCRs and present some of the challenges that will be addressed in the pilot phase.


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 Thinking, Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), the European Platform on LCA (EPLCA), the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook and the Environmental Footprint for products and organisations.

▶ Guidance for the development of Product Category Rules

Mark GoedkoopProduct Category Rule Guidance Development Initiative/ PRé Consultants, Netherlands

The PCR Guidance Development Initiative has initiated a consolidated guidance for the development of Product Category Rules and is currently completing the final version following a public consultation. Mark Goedkopp will report on the process and reflect on implications and recommendations for the development of PCRs for the EU footprinting methodology.

About Mark GoedkoppMark Goedkoop founded PRé Consultants in 1990, and since then developed important LCA methodologies such as eco-indicator 99 and ReCiPe, as well as the most widely used LCA tool SimaPro. PRé is based in the Netherlands, has a partner network in 22 countries and a subsidiary in the US. At the 3rd PCF World Summit in 2010 he and Rasmus Priess initiated the international PCR Task Force and Roundtable, which provided a starting point for the Product Category Rule Guidance Development Initiative. PRé was also the consultant for the EU in the previous pilot phase of the PEF and OEF, to provide support to pilot companies and review the reports. PRé recently also reviewed the Sustainable Apparel PCR guidance.

11:30 Stakeholder perspectives on the EU environmental footprinting decisions

▶ The lack of sustainability issues in corporate brand development: Can environmental footprinting change the game?

Mike LonghurstEuropean Association of Communications Agencies (EACA), England

Over a decade ago the UN Environment Programme complained that companies were not promoting themselves, or their products on a sustainability platform. The reason for that was plainly that it was not a primary driver of choice for consumers in product and lifestyle choices. The bad news, despite an upsurge in advertising around the 2007 period, is that environmental and sustainability issues remain not a secondary, but a tertiary choice factor in most categories of goods. Part of the reason for the decline in promotion since 2007 has been the recession and part has been the reaction that many brands received based on accusations of “greenwashing”. The arrival of environmental footprinting offers a chance to be more certain about claims, but wrongly applied can also add to the perceived threat from this area, increasing what has been described as a “fear to tread”. It is essen-tial that we fully understand these issues if “green” claims are once again to give leadership to consumers and not get relegated to corporate websites where no-one will see them.

About Mike LonghurstMike Longhurst is one of the Agency sector’s best known experts on advertising and sustainability. He is a Senior Vice President at McCann Erickson, in charge of their global green practice, Planet McCann and also consults externally. He has played a senior role in agencies and client companies over several decades, is a Fellow of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising and is also a member of a lead-ing environmental NGO. He represents the European advertising agency sector as Board Director of the European Association of Communications Agencies respon-sible for Sustainability and as such, led the development of the Advertising Sector Report to the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development.


▶ A GHG Protocol perspective on EU environmental footprinting

Mark DiddenWorld Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Switzerland

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the most widely used inter-national accounting tool for understanding, quantifying, and managing greenhouse gas emissions. Through the GHG Protocol Product and Scope 3 Standards it has been instrumental in stimulating more widespread and specific assessment of GHG emissions in value chains and has also influenced the environmental footprinting work of the European Commission. Mark Didden will explain the current focus of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development in the implementation of the new GHG Protocol standards in different sectors and provide a GHG Protocol perspective on the environmental footprinting work of the European Commission.

About Mark DiddenMark Didden joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in 2012 to head up the GHG Management Working Group. Through this Working Group WBCSD works with its member companies to support the imple-mentation of GHG management and reporting practices, develop GHG Protocol standards and guidances with WRI and positions member companies at the forefront of business in reducing their climate impact. Previously Mark worked for five years at the Corporate Sustainability Office of Philips in the Netherlands. Mark holds a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering and Management Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology.

▶ Chain Organisational Environmental Footprinting (OEF): An alternative approach

Frederic VermeirenColruyt, Belgium

In 2012 Colruyt Group tested the EU environmental footprint methodologies “PEF” for a bottle of white wine and “OEF” for different Colruyt organisations. During the presentation Frederic Vermeiren will share Colruyt’s learnings and explain the drivers for the Chain OEF initiative. The aim with this alternative cascade approach is to start a market driven and voluntary value chain project engaging Colruyt’s suppliers (SME’s and large companies) in a consistent and harmonized way to reduce the overall environmental impact.

About Frederic VermeirenFrederic Vermeiren graduated in 2007 as a Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering at the University of Ghent (Environmental engineer). In 2008 Frederic started his professional career at the Research Institute for Forest and Nature (INBO) and participated in the water budget modelling during the FutMon project (Life+). After more than two years Frederic decided to join Colruyt Group where he works at the department of Energy, Environment and Advanced Technolo-gies as a project manager with main focus on sustainability, footprinting and water management. Frederic also lived and studied in Portugal (ISA, Lisbon) and Guatemala (AFS).
