BASF Launches Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) App on its Products

BASF has developed an application solution for the exchange of product carbon footprint (PCF) for its products, now available in the Catena-X Automotive Ecosystem in the Cofinity-X App Store. BASF customers can now register for the application, called PACIFIC, a joint development of BASF and CircularTree.

After three years of intensive collaboration within the Catena-X consortium in the field of sustainability, important milestones have been reached with the development of various standards. These include, among others, a PCF rulebook, a PCF kit and a PCF data model, to name just a few examples. The standards aim to facilitate the exchange of PCF data within the Catena-X data ecosystem and thus make a targeted contribution to sustainability.

The PCF Rulebook provides guidelines and best practices for calculating, reporting and sharing PCF data in the automotive industry. The PCF Kit is a tool kit that provides practical tools and resources for the implementation of PCF standards. The PCF Data Model establishes a standardized structure and format for the presentation of PCF data and ensures compatibility and interoperability between different systems and stakeholders.
