Product carbon data is a commercial requirement. Be ready to provide it.
Customers in automotive, retail, and electronics are already requesting PCFs. CBAM requires cradle-to-gate emission data for imported goods. ESPR will extend product-level carbon requirements across categories. Cozero automates lifecycle calculation with the methodology accuracy your customers and regulators will check against.

Why PCF is now a financial and commercial obligation
Why PCF is a financial and commercial issue
Three converging pressures are making PCF a business-critical capability. CBAM: companies importing goods subject to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism need accurate cradle-to-gate emission data, and increasingly require it from their suppliers. Inaccurate data creates compliance and financial risk for both sides. Customer requirements: manufacturers, retailers, and logistics operators in your supply chain are now routinely requesting PCFs. A missing or unverified PCF is a tender disqualifier in an increasing number of sectors. ESPR: the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation extends product-level data requirements including Digital Product Passports, which will require emission data for a growing list of product categories.
The core challenge
The core challenge is data quality across a complex value chain. Estimated factors give rough numbers. Your customers will increasingly require primary supplier data and ISO-aligned methodology, particularly where their own CBAM obligations depend on the data you provide. Cozero structures primary data collection, automates calculation, and produces output that meets ISO 14067, 14040, and 14044 standards.

What is remarkable is the high quality and transparency of the emission data, which can be managed in a simple and comprehensible way, thus facilitating decisions for the future. Alongside digitization, climate protection is one of the major transformation challenges of our time that all companies will have to face sooner or later. There is no question that this can only work in tune with economic success.

Cozero‘s platform allows me to extract insightful reports on data analysis, which helps to ensure that we tackle the most important challenges first. With a clear data entry process, different options for data ingestion and a well-arranged dashboard to store all relevant findings I am able to gain a holistic overview of our emission profile at Mammut.
Dominique Breuer
We don't just want to understand what OMR's carbon footprint is. We want to work specifically on reducing our emissions significantly. This year we laid the foundation by creating as much transparency as possible.
Lutz Fricke
At MOSOLF, we are transforming our business model by “measuring, improving and talking”. The basis of every improvement is reliable measurement. With Cozero we work very closely on the constant development of our carbon footprint. Long-term and trusting cooperation is important to me personally. Because this is the only way we can improve sustainably. In this sense, Cozero is exactly the partner for us.
