BASF offers Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for feed ingredients portfolio
The PCF sums up the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by a product over the different stages of its life cycle. This makes PCFs the central tool for creating transparency on emissions and identifying levers to reduce CO2 emissions. PCFs of BASF products comprise all product-related greenhouse gas emissions that occur until the BASF product leaves the factory gate for the customer: from the purchased raw material to the use of energy in production processes. The PCFs of our feed ingredients portfolio* is certified by TÜV Rheinland according to the internationally recognized standard, ISO 14067:2018, and accessible to every customer upon request at Certipedia - Certificate Database from TÜV Rheinland.
BASF PCF1 of selected vitamin A & E products is at least 20 percent better than global market average2,3,4 - certified by TÜV Rheinland5

4 In 2022, all vitamin A producers faced extraordinary challenges, e.g. unplanned, extended plant overhauls, disruptions in operations, weak demand, low plant utilization. We assume these negatively impacted – to a comparable order of magnitude – PCFs of all producers and have taken them into account in the assessment.
5 Validity: benchmarks valid for 3 years; in case of major changes in assumptions / data need for earlier review.
