PCF Data now available from Croda Pharma!

Croda PCFs covers cradle to gate emissions, i.e. Scope 1,2 and 3 upstream.

This includes emissions associated with the raw material production or extraction (the "cradle") and our manufacturing processes until the moment it leaves our production site (the "gate").

It does not include downstream transport, use, and disposal by customers or end users.

Product Carbon Footprints allow both Croda and our customers to more easily identify and track emissions. This in turn allows for more informed purchasing decisions, as well as the implementation of effective emissions reduction strategies.

We have PCF data available for over 900 of our products, please complete a contact form for these and we will be in touch shortly.

Units are kgCO2e/kg; i.e. the number of CO2 equivalents emitted per 1 kg of product. Carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e is a metric measure representing total greenhouse gas emissions (including CO2, CH4, N2O) by converting them to the equivalent amount of CO2. GHG removals are not included. Total GHG emission figure is sum of net fossil GHG emissions, biogenic emissions and GHG emissions from land use and land use change.

We use a carbon accounting tool and methodology that is aligning with Together for Sustainability (TfS) Carbon Footprint Guidance v2.0 2022 and ISO14067:2018, ISO14040:2006, ISO14044:2006. TfS have collaborated with the Green House Gas Protocol, World Economic Forum, Science Based Targets initiative and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to align with existing guidelines. Croda’s methodology has been critically reviewed by independent experts, Ricardo, who have confirmed that it has a high level of alignment with the TfS Guidance.

Together for Sustainability (TfS) is a joint initiative and global network of 40 chemical companies which delivers the global standard for environmental, social, and governance performance of chemical supply chains. The TfS program is based on the UN Global Compact and Responsible Care® principles. By aligning with TfS guidance we are aligned with best practice that is specific for the chemical industry. Their guidance is first of its kind, industry specific guidance on calculating chemical PCFs. It is tailored to meet the unique challenges of calculating chemical PCFs. It empowers companies to produce higher quality carbon footprint data. It is compliant with ISO and GHG Protocol accounting standards.
