PD Luminate: Product Carbon Footprint
Showcase your product’s environmental stewardship with high-quality PCF statements.
Illuminate Your
Net Zero Endevour
Much like the bioluminescence of marine plankton is the chemical reaction that occurs when luciferin reacts with luciferase producing light, Planckton Data brings domain knowledge and technical acumen together to help our clients illuminate their carbon management efforts.
PD Luminate is the standardization and amalgamation of carbon-specific data across your organizational eco-system to produce a comprehensive picture of your company’s sustainability endeavors related to carbon in Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) statements. These standardized reports facilitate the establishment of trust and swiftly demonstrates your commitment to achieving net-zero emissions.
How Planckton Data Generates
High-Quality PCFs
Creating high-quality PCFs requires meticulous attention to data collection, management, and integration. At Planckton Data, we have robust data-driven methology that brings rigor to the PCF creation process and elevates data quality and trust. Our innovative solution addresses the data challenges at every step of the PCF process.
Data
Collection
Collecting good-quality primary data requires extensive engagement from supply chain participants. Typical participation rates are below 10%.
Data Quality
Management
Varying measures for a unit of product, data with varying regional applicability, and varying time scales are all data quality challenges for even the most engaged organizations.
Data
Integration
Seamlessly integrating supplier-provided data with organizational data.
Guidance
Limitations
Adherence to the guidance and limits of what good PCF data should
entail.
Luminate Strategy
and Getting Started
Planckton Data takes a structured approach to developing and maturing the PCF capabilities in your organization. Starting with a broad assessment of the product’s available emissions information and building a maturity roadmap to incrementally improve the quality of PCF statements. The Luminate approach includes:
PCF Data Maturity Framework
Utilizing frameworks and accelerators for PCF data.
Secondary Data Integrations
Integrating with various secondary sources like publicly available EEIO sources and subscription-based sources, such as Carbon Minds, to jumpstart the data collection process.
Getting Started
