Carbon Footprint Calculation Product
Planetzero.earth (PZE) served UPS to conduct a comprehensive analysis of their operations and supply chain to identify the sources of emissions across all scopes—Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions). PZE developed a detailed list of the necessary datasets required for the carbon footprint calculation. In collaboration with United Potteries, PZE gathered the relevant data and used it to calculate the carbon footprint for one tonne of product, serving as the functional unit for this assessment. The assessment used the "cradle to Free on Board (FOB)" approach. This means the analysis encompasses all stages from the extraction of raw materials (cradle) to the point where the product is ready for shipment and has been loaded onto the transport vessel at the FOB point.
