Guidance for the Accounting and Exchange of Product Life Cycle Emissions

Today, on the Industry Day at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, UK, the Carbon Transparency Partnership published the Pathfinder Framework, a guidance for the calculation and exchange of product-level carbon emissions data across value chains.

The Framework was developed jointly by 35 stakeholders from industry and the broader decarbonization ecosystem, harnessing WBCSD’s role as co-convenor of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The guidance enables companies to better understand carbon emissions on a granular level, improving business decision-making and helping them meet their net zero targets.
