Precise sustainability assessment following Catena-X and Together for Sustainability standards
Sustainability is increasingly becoming a competitive factor for companies. Many manufacturers face the challenge of precisely determining their products' CO2 footprint. Without accurate data on components and materials used, sustainability assessments remain imprecise and climate targets difficult to achieve.
DELO has established the conditions needed to measure the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of its high-tech adhesives. Using the cradle-to-gate approach, users can now determine their products' CO2 footprint with significantly greater accuracy. The calculations follow recognized standards including Catena-X and "Together for Sustainability".
DELO employs a comprehensive approach to CO2 accounting that captures all relevant emission sources. For raw material accounting, the company utilizes industry-standard databases supplemented with precise CO2 data from suppliers. Transport-related emissions are estimated based on supplier information. An internal screening study provides detailed data on production emissions for selected adhesives.
The Product Carbon Footprint encompasses CO2 emissions across various life cycle phases of a product. DELO focuses on the cradle-to-gate approach, calculating emissions from raw material extraction through the supply chain to production processes. The calculation methodology follows guidelines from Catena-X, a data ecosystem for the automotive industry, and "Together for Sustainability", a chemical industry initiative promoting sustainability performance measurement in supply chains.
DELO uses the cradle-to-gate approach to calculate the CO2 emissions generated during the manufacture of an adhesive.
With systematic PCF determination, DELO supports its customers in precisely achieving sustainability goals and creating well-founded climate assessments.
