Carbon Footprint Assessment for Goods and Services

Carbon footprint assessment for goods and services is a way for organizations to assess their contribution to climate change, and further manage and reduce the emissions at product-level. For most organizations, they measure the carbon footprint in order to identify cost saving opportunities, and to meet customer demands for "green" or "low-carbon" product.

Greenfield is a leading consulting firm in assessing life cycle carbon footprint for goods and services. Our service covers:

  • building a process map,
  • calculating the footprint,
  • life cycle analysis,
  • verification support.

We also support our clients to apply for carbon label that describes the carbon dioxide emissions created as a by-product of manufacturing, transporting, or disposing of a product or service.

When the carbon footprint is known, Greenfield is able to help our clients to develop and implement climate strategies, such as:

  • purchase and supply chain management,
  • climate-friendly design,
  • low-carbon marketing.
