Exploring Underlying Barriers to Tech-Enabled PCF Data Calculation and Exchange

This white paper examines the barriers to exchanging Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data using interoperable technology solutions. Despite a rapid increase in calculated PCFs within the PACT community, the adoption of software solutions for data exchange remains stagnant.

It identifies key challenges faced by companies and software providers, highlighting the disconnect between the growth of PCFs and the use of digital tools. The paper aims to uncover actionable strategies for overcoming these hurdles, fostering collaboration and transparency in carbon data exchange. By addressing these issues, we can enhance efforts toward sustainability and effective decarbonization across value chains.
