Course Overview: Carbon Footprint of Products ISO 14067: 2018

This training course provides a comprehensive introduction to quantifying the Carbon Footprint of Products, understanding lifecycle emissions, and preparing credible PCF reports aligned with internationally recognised greenhouse gas standards.

This course is designed for professionals in lifecycle assessment (LCA), carbon accounting, sustainability reporting, and organisations seeking to strengthen their product-level climate disclosures. Delivered in partnership with DIN CERTCO and TÜV Rheinland, participants gain both theoretical knowledge and practical application through real-world case studies.

Topics Covered for ISO 14067 - Carbon Footprint of Products

In this PCF training, participants will learn how to define the goal and scope of a product carbon footprint study, including:

1. Purpose of the study and intended application
2. Functional unit selection
3. System boundaries (cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave)
4. Assumptions, limitations, and data choices

You will also explore:

1. What differentiates cradle-to-grave from cradle-to-gate inventories
2. How to determine which lifecycle stages to include in your PCF study
3. How to follow a rigorous process for data collection, assessing data quality, and performing CFP calculations
4. How to prepare credible CFP reports suitable for third-party review
