PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINT VERIFICATION
Independent verification of Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) aligned with ISO 14067, helping you build confidence in your product carbon data for customer communications, procurement, sustainability reporting, and product claims.
Build trust in your product carbon data
Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) are increasingly used to meet procurement requirements, respond to customer requests, support sustainability reporting, and substantiate environmental claims. As companies rely more on product-level emissions data, independent verification is essential to establishing confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their results.
SustainCERT provides independent product carbon footprint verification in accordance with ISO 14067 for companies across the food, agriculture, apparel, chemical, and manufacturing sectors. Our experts assess the methodology, calculations, and supporting evidence to verify that product carbon data meets applicable requirements.
Drawing on extensive expertise in product and value chain GHG accounting, our PCF verification services help organizations communicate product carbon data credibly and make informed decisions based on verified emissions information.
Why verify your Product Carbon Footprint?
Build trust with stakeholders
Provide independently verified product carbon data that gives customers, buyers, investors, and other stakeholders greater confidence in your product-level emissions information and climate claims.
Differentiate your products
Demonstrate the credibility of your product carbon data through independent PCF verification and the SustainCERT Product Carbon Footprint Label.
Support reporting and informed decisions
Strengthen confidence in the methodology and calculations behind your Product Carbon Footprints, supporting reliable sustainability reporting, procurement decisions, and external communications.
How ISO 14067 verification strengthens product data
Product Carbon Footprint calculations depend on methodological choices, activity data, emission factors, and assumptions. Differences in how these elements are applied can affect the accuracy and comparability of product-level emissions results.
Independent verification assesses the methodology, calculations, and supporting evidence against ISO 14067 requirements. This helps identify potential inconsistencies, strengthen transparency, and provide assurance over the reliability of the reported product carbon footprint.
SustainCERT PCF Label
Demonstrate that your Product Carbon Footprint has been independently verified with the SustainCERT PCF Label.
The label confirms that a product's carbon footprint has undergone independent verification in accordance with ISO 14067. It can be displayed on product packaging, websites, and marketing materials to communicate verified product carbon data to customers and other stakeholders.
What is a Product Carbon Footprint?
A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) measures the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product across its life cycle, including raw material sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, use, and end-of-life treatment, depending on the assessment boundaries. Results are expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO₂e).
PCFs help companies identify emissions hotspots, prioritize reduction opportunities, and understand the climate impact of their products. They also provide product-level emissions data to support procurement decisions, sustainability reporting, and customer communications.

Need an LCA Critical Review instead?
Product Carbon Footprint Verification confirms greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product in line with ISO 14067.
If your study evaluates multiple environmental impacts or supports comparative assertions, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Critical Review provides an independent review of the methodology, assumptions, and interpretation against ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
