_{Optimal use of resources}

In the Transparency area, we offer you the certified calculation of product carbon footprints (PCF). In our calculations, we consider the entire emissions of our products according to the cradle-to-gate approach, i.e. from production to delivery to our customers' factory gates. We give you the information security you need to make optimal decisions.

_{CSRD and CBAM: Security regarding regulatory obligations}

Certified PCFs are required to fulfill reporting obligations under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) - we provide you with the relevant data.

_{Carbon Tracking: Parts & Components}

Determining the product carbon footprint for parts and components is complex and costly and presents many companies with major challenges. We will support you.

Once all components of the finished product have been identified, we examine the entire procurement process "from cradle to gate plus end of life" - from primary material and production to transportation, storage and delivery to you - with regard to the CO2 emissions generated.

The primary data collected in this way is then supplemented with information from licensed databases and processed by a TÜV-certified partner, enabling us to provide you with the exact CO2 footprint of your product.

Your benefit: You receive important data for your life cycle assessment and bring transparency to your supply chain.

To ease orientation on the market, we divide our materials into three categories. They are based on the certified calculation of the actual product carbon footprint (PCF) from production to the customer and are based on common manufacturing processes.

_{Classic - Proven quality from conventional production lines}

These materials stand for the highest quality and decades of expertise. Production is ensured in proven large-scale plants and the material quality corresponds exactly to customer requirements.

_{Benefit - Partially CO2-optimized products}

These materials offer the highest quality of our Classic products combined with a clearly traceable CO₂ reduction. These products offer a good balance between price and sustainability.

_{Advance - CO2-optimized materials with sustainable production methods}

Our most advanced materials with the claim of the best possible CO₂ reduction. The entire material know-how of thyssenkrupp Materials with the smallest possible CO₂ footprint.

_{Sustainability consulting for industrial companies}

No matter where you are on your journey to greater sustainability, we can support you in making critical decisions. As a consulting service, for example, we work with you to examine your portfolio and identify optimization potential or share specialist knowledge.

_{Carbon Compensation}

We jointly select an offsetting project from our partner and invest the corresponding amount of the CO₂ value consumed. The projects are independently audited and vary in price depending on the subject area.

Your advantage: You make your company more sustainable and can label your parts and components as "climate neutral" and use the corresponding label. This confirms that all CO₂ emissions of the labeled service have been calculated and offset via recognized climate protection projects.

_{Offsetting with the Voluntary Carbon Trade Desk}

With the VCC Desk we give you the opportunity to purchase and trade voluntary carbon credit certificates.
