2023年2月21日,日内瓦: 碳透明度伙伴关系 (PACT),由 World Business Council for Sustainable 发展 (WBCSD),已公布最新资料 技术规格 to help organizations exchange Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) information. 技术解决方案, ranging from procurement and supplier management systems to carbon management software, can now exchange product-related carbon emissions data using the same standardized technical language. Enabling such data sharing represents a significant step towards carbon transparency and supply chain decarbonization at scale.
Organizations increasingly recognize that the majority of their emissions are caused upstream from business operations, emitted during the production and transportation of purchased products and services. For companies to meet their decarbonization targets, these Scope 3 emissions must be accurately measured, 管理, 最终减少. The latest specifications enable technical systems to "speak the same language”, accelerating the exchange of product-related carbon emissions data across value chains.
With the aim of enhancing the comparability of shared data, the specifications come in line with upThe dates to the latest version of the 探路者框架,于2023年1月上映. 规格包括:
- A 数据模型 to exchange Product Carbon Footprint information between systems, which defines which data elements must be shared, 用什么格式, 以及这些必须如何定义.
- data质量 产品碳足迹信息, enabling organizations to understand the accuracy of the emissions information provided.
- 有关 保证和核查 of the Product Carbon Footprint, providing the necessary confidence to trust the data.
By design, PACT aims to drive emissions transparency across all industries and sectors. 尽管该规范与行业无关, its 数据模型 can be extended to include data unique to a given industry or type of product. 智能货运中心, 例如, is currently developing such a 数据模型 extension for the logistics sector. 以这种方式, all industries can use a common language to exchange Product Carbon Footprint related information, in addition to specific information unique to that industry.
An initial exchange of data using the first version of the specifications was 意识到 去年. The upThe dated version will be used for extensive testing and large-scale exchanges of real Product Carbon Footprint data throughout 2023, demonstrating the growing community of collaborators that are aligning around the common mission of carbon transparency.
Technology companies ranging from startups to multi-nationals are already coming together to implement software conforming with the specifications. Organizations seeking to drive Scope 3 transparency are themselves building in-house solutions or working closely with software providers, building processes and technologies to engage their suppliers on the journey to decarbonization. Any organization interested in testing the specification and providing feedback is encouraged to get in touch with the PACT team. PACT is supported by the SINE Foundation as its technology partner and McKinsey Sustainability as its knowledge partner.
