Carbon Decreased Product Verification
Verify your product's reduced carbon footprint with DEKRA's Carbon Decreased Product Verification to enhance credibility and support your sustainability goals
Climate change is one of the major challenges facing our society. Companies are keen to find ways to reduce their impact on the climate. Their strategies also include measures to decrease the carbon footprint of their products.
The Carbon Decreased Product Verification enables companies to showcase reductions in their products' carbon footprint through material or process changes. It also helps customers recognize credible claims and support a more sustainable future by rewarding companies' efforts.
To make a trustworthy statement, the determination of the product carbon footprint and its reduction must be based on ISO 14067:2018, a globally recognized standard.
Carbon Decreased Product Verification: At a Glance
Companies must demonstrate the decrease through transparent reporting, based on a consistent and reliable methodology. Our approach includes a thorough review of the product’s carbon footprint over time, following the requirements of ISO 14067:2018, and a check of the reduction measures including product design improvements, material sourcing, and process efficiency.
This verification assures customers that the decrease is genuine, measurable, and not reliant on carbon offsetting, further enhancing the credibility of sustainability claims. Upon successful verification, DEKRA issues a Carbon Decreased Product Verification report and certificate. The verification includes ongoing monitoring and re-verification to ensure that carbon reduction targets are maintained over time.
