Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)
Let's take a closer look at this topic: In order to be able to offset emissions at all, companies draw up a greenhouse gas balance sheet. This balance is divided into two parts. First, the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) is determined. This exclusively highlights the company and its emissions (e.g. electricity consumption, employees' journeys to work by bus and train, etc.). Companies that produce or trade in physical goods (such as greenbox) also have a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This balance refers to our entire product range and thus to each individual product. This includes all stages of production: from materials to manufacturing to transport routes.
For comparison: the share of our PCF is 99.6 percent, the CCF is only 0.4 percent of the total balance. So the manufacture of our products causes the most emissions by far. Many companies only offset their CCF and "advertise" with this kind of climate neutrality. Only on closer inspection is it apparent how small their share is. Often it is just a drop in the ocean.
That is why we offset both our CCF and PCF with full commitment. With the composition of CCF and PCF, we will achieve our goal of a completely climate-neutral company. Not because we have to, but because we want to actively contribute to climate protection. We therefore work 100% climate-neutral - in all areas. For a sustainable future of our green planet.
