Introducing PAS 2050 - Carbon Footprinting of Products
20th Nov 2008 by Alex Briggs
PAS 2050 - the new carbon footprinting methodology for products (goods and/or services) sponsored by DEFRA and the Carbon Trust has now been published by BSI. The document is now available for implementation by organisations looking to determine and verify the carbon footprint of specific products.
In this video interview, Paul Smith, Project Leader for Carbon Labelling and Footprinting at Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), talks about how PAS 2050, the new Carbon Footprinting methodology for products can benefit organisations. He explains the verification and certification processes and the value to a brand’s image and reputation that independent assurance can offer. He also talks about how PAS 2050 relates to existing environmental standards, such as ISO 14001 and ISO 14064.
