Sustainability Terms Explained

Insights into ESG management, sustainability regulations, and CO₂ accounting.

Carbon Footprint

The carbon footprint quantifies GHG emissions in CO₂e to help companies measure, compare, and reduce their impact.

Primary Data and Secondary Data

Primary data comes directly from emission sources, while secondary data uses industry averages and emission factors.

PCF

A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) measures all greenhouse gas emissions across a product’s entire life cycle in CO₂e.

LCA

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates a product’s environmental impact across all life cycle stages, from raw materials to recycling.

Data Integrity

Data integrity ensures that sustainability data is accurate, consistent, and verifiable, supporting transparency and credible ESG reporting.

CO₂e Data Management

CO₂e data management covers collecting, tracking, and reporting GHG emissions to support carbon accounting, transparency, and Net Zero goals.

CO₂-Neutrality

CO₂ neutrality means balancing emitted and removed CO₂ by reducing GHG emissions and offsetting the remaining carbon through verified projects

CO₂e

CO₂e compares the climate impact of different greenhouse gases by converting them into an equivalent amount of CO₂.

CDD

Carbon Data Disclosure (CDD) means publicly reporting GHG emissions to improve transparency, meet ESG standards, and drive climate action.

Circular Economy

The Circular Economy (CE) is an economic model focused on eliminating waste, maximizing resource efficiency, and regenerating natural systems.

Carbon Accounting

Carbon accounting measures and tracks GHG emissions in CO₂e to identify decarbonization opportunities and improve ESG performance.
