Eviden PCF Platform

Core Features

The Eviden PCF Platform is built around lifecycle-based carbon accounting, using structured product and process data to calculate emissions at the product level. Its methodology reflects established LCA practices and industry-specific requirements, enabling scalable and standardised product carbon footprint calculations. Some of its main features include:

• Automated PCF Calculations – Performs scalable, automated carbon footprint calculations across large product portfolios, reducing manual modelling effort.

• Lifecycle Assessment Methodology – Applies cradle-to-gate LCA aligned with ISO 14067 and related standards, ensuring methodological consistency.

• Supply Chain Emissions Transparency – Provides detailed visibility into emissions across production steps and internal/external supply chains.

• Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis – Enables comparison of product variants and modelling of parameter changes (e.g. materials, utilities) to assess reduction options.

• Standards-Based Compliance – Aligns with frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, ISO standards, and Together for Sustainability (TfS), supporting industry acceptance.

• PCF Reporting & Data Sharing – Generates structured carbon footprint reports that can be shared with customers and integrated into external systems.

Closing Insights

The Eviden PCF Platform was developed within the Atos Group’s Eviden business unit in collaboration with BASF, reflecting a focus on the specific requirements of the chemical industry. This background is evident in its handling of complex production processes, including multi-output allocation and internal supply chain dependencies, which are critical for accurate product-level emissions calculations.

The platform has been implemented by companies such as Venator, where it has been used to automate carbon footprint calculations across extensive product portfolios. In this context, it enables organisations to generate consistent and transparent PCF data, assess emissions across production networks, and share product-level emissions information with customers to support their own sustainability goals.

As demand grows for product-level emissions transparency—driven by supply chain requirements and regulatory initiatives—the platform’s focus on standardised, automated PCF calculations suggests increasing relevance for companies seeking to integrate carbon data into product design, procurement, and customer communication processes.
