What is a carbon footprint?
“What is a carbon footprint?Every product or service we make,deliver, buy and consume has a carbonfootprint that we can measure.
What is a carbon footprint?“Every product or service we make,deliver, buy and consume has a carbonfootprint that we can measure.This carbon footprint represents the totalamount <strong>of</strong> greenhouse gases (in tonnes<strong>of</strong> CO2 equivalent) produced during thelife cycle <strong>of</strong> the product or service, fromproduction to final disposal.”

How to measure it? The ISO wayDraft StandardISO 14067
How to measure it? The ISO wayDraft StandardISO 14067A precise measure <strong>of</strong> a carbonfootprint:“is a powerful tool for decarbonizingthe productsupply chain”Klaus RadunskyChairman ISO 14067 Working Group
How to measure it? The ISO wayDraft Standard ISO 14067A new standard for product carbon footprints.Builds on existing ISO standards for:• Life cycle assessments (ISO 14040/44); and• Environmental labels and declarations (ISO 14025)Planned to be published by March 2011 although this maybe revised.
How to measure it? The BSI wayPAS 2050Development commenced inJune 2007, when The <strong>Carbon</strong>Trust and DEFRA approachedBSI to develop a publiclyavailable specification (PAS).

Sample outputs: Boots
A word about measurement• Applies to all goods and services with considerationgiven to how and whether it may need customising forspecific product groups, e.g. food, buildings,electronics, etc.• Considers all lifecycle stages along the supply/valuechain <strong>of</strong> a product (goods and/or services), i.e. fromraw materials to end <strong>of</strong> life• Includes the six GHGs identified under the Kyotoprotocol• Could be used by all sizes and types <strong>of</strong> organisations
REAL WORLDRESULTSSOME CASE STUDIES
REAL WORLDRESULTSPEPSICO & WALKER’SCRISPS
PEPSICO &WALKER’S CRISPS
BACKGROUNDWALKER’S CRISPS• PepsiCo is the parent company <strong>of</strong> Walker’s• The Walker’s business includes the largestcrisp manufacturing plant in the world• Potatoes are 100% UK sourced, so much <strong>of</strong> thesupply chain is contained within the UK• The first company in 2006 to workwith the <strong>Carbon</strong> Trust to measure aproduct carbon footprint• The first company to be measuredunder PAS 2050• The first product to carry a productcarbon label: Walker’s Cheese andOnion Crisps
ACHIEVEMENTSWALKER’S CRISPS• Only using British potatoes, to cutdown food miles• Improving production efficiency toreduce gas by 11%, electricity by 22%and water consumption by over 700million litres in one factory alone.• Making a 4.5% reduction in emissionsassociated with producing crisppackets• Recycling over 90% <strong>of</strong> waste• Reducing the weight <strong>of</strong> packaging• Running delivery lorries on biodieseland using fuel efficient drivingSaving 4,800tonnes <strong>of</strong> CO 2Reducingcarbonfootprint by7%Saving close toS$1m annually
OTHER LEARNINGSWALKER’S CRISPSWalkers is also a case study in:• The power <strong>of</strong> effective supplierengagement to reduce carbonemissions• The importance <strong>of</strong> making publiccommitments to drive real actionand results…and provides evidence that carbonfootprinting and labelling matter toconsumers.
