Feature details

You can calculate the carbon footprint of your products by using bills of materials, emissions factors, associated emissions, and allocated emissions in Sustainability Manager. This feature allows you to compute product footprints, providing a comprehensive view of your products environmental impact. A key capability includes the Product footprint calculation. You can use your activity and emissions data within Microsoft Sustainability Manager to calculate the carbon footprint of your products. The calculation supports: -Bill of materials (BOM): Use the materials that make up a product to assess your individual and collective carbon impacts. -Emissions factors: Apply specific emissions factors to materials and activities to determine accurate carbon output. -Associated and allocated emissions: Include relevant emissions tied to the product, from production to distribution, to ensure a holistic footprint analysis. -Cradle-to-grave assessment: Calculate the total carbon footprint of a product from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal, capturing the entire lifecycle impact.
