General Product Carbon Footprint manual

You are setting up PCF for the first time, or need the reference for datasets, the Emission data tab and PCF transactions.

Collect upstream emissions from supplier with Request

Your suppliers report their PCFs through ChainTraced. Checklist from dataset to customer submission.

Add upstream emissions with Dataset

You enter the upstream figures yourself. The same checklist with datasets instead of requests.

Fetch emission data from suppliers

A supplier already keeps the PCF in ChainTraced and you want it without waiting for an answer.

Estimate emissions with secondary data

A supplier cannot report and you need a figure from a database or a document.

Transport emissions

You want the emissions of transporting purchased products from each supplier added to the PCF automatically.
