Turning carbon data into a business asset.

PACT gives every company a standard way to calculate a product's carbon footprint, a clear evidence-based signal on what to use the data for, and a network to exchange it directly with others, without a central platform holding the data.

What is PACT?

One method for measuring product-level carbon.
One network for sharing it.

Most of a product's emissions sit in the supply chain. PACT makes sure that data keeps its meaning as it moves from one system to another, so it travels with the product, not the spreadsheet.

Step 01

Measure product carbon footprints with industry agnostic PACT Methodology, built on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067.

Step 02

Share and request PCFs over the PACT Network, peer-to-peer between conformant solutions. Your data and its evidence stay with you. PACT never touches it.

Step 03

Use trusted, comparable data to find hotspots, choose cleaner suppliers, and cut emissions across your value chain.

Why product carbon footprints matter in the current market

Carbon has a price, and most companies can't prove what's in their products. Here's the case for measuring carbon data at the product level:

1.
An aggregate carbon number won't tell you where your competetive risks lie

Most businesses track carbon as one average. That shows how big your footprint is, not which product, material or supplier is driving it or what to change.

2.
Customers and regulators are already asking, product by product

Regulators and buyers focus on individual goods, not company averages. The products without credible data are the ones that get taxed more or turned away.

3.
Once you can see the data, you can act on it

Product-level data lets you switch a supplier, redesign a product, or prove why yours is the lower-carbon choice.

4.
Win business and better financing

More buyers, banks and customers now reward cleaner products. Clear data turns "we're working on it" into a number they can act on.

5.
Make the work you're already doing count

Rough averages hide the difference between a genuinely cleaner supplier and everyone else. Trustworthy product-level data means the companies actually cutting emissions get recognized for it.
