We’re excited to share that Carbon Maps has achieved PACT conformant status with the Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), hosted by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
This means Carbon Maps is now part of a select group of solution providers recognized as able to help companies calculate and exchange product carbon footprint (PCF) data in a standardized, secure, and interoperable way across value chains.
PACT is a WBCSD initiative focused on improving carbon transparency across supply chains. It gives companies a common way to calculate and exchange product-level carbon footprint data, so they can move beyond fragmented Scope 3 estimates and work with data that is more consistent, comparable, and actionable.
That matters because Scope 3 emissions are often the biggest part of a company’s footprint, especially for FMCG businesses with complex agricultural and manufacturing supply chains. And while many companies are trying to improve their data, they still run into the same issues: inconsistent methodologies, uneven data quality, and limited interoperability between suppliers and systems.
PACT helps solve this by combining:
ISO 14067 and PACT are closely related, but they serve different purposes.
ISO 14067 is the international standard that sets the foundation for calculating a product’s carbon footprint. It provides the principles and requirements for quantifying and reporting PCFs in a credible and consistent way.
In other words, ISO 14067 helps define what a valid PCF calculation looks like and the rules behind it. Carbon Maps’ PCF solution is also declared compliant with ISO 14067, giving customers a strong standards-based foundation for calculation.
PACT, on the other hand, builds on standards like ISO 14067 and focuses on helping companies put PCF data to work across the value chain. It adds practical guidance for data quality, verification, and interoperable data exchange between partners and systems.
A simple way to think about it:
For Carbon Maps customers and partners, the biggest benefit is confidence.
PACT conformance means Carbon Maps can support standardized, interoperable PCF data exchange across the PACT Network, making it easier to share product emissions data with suppliers and customers—without relying on spreadsheets or one-off formats.
PACT Methodology v3.0 also gives companies a clearer structure for PCFs, including:
That structure helps reduce ambiguity, improve comparability, and make product carbon data more useful for both reporting and decision-making.
FMCG companies manage high-volume product portfolios and complex, multi-tier supply chains, which makes product-level emissions data especially difficult to collect and standardize.
Carbon Maps helps FMCG teams calculate PCFs and exchange emissions data more efficiently with suppliers and customers using an approach aligned with PACT’s focus on accurate, primary, and interoperable carbon data.
In practice, that means:
With this recognition, Carbon Maps has reinforced its ability to provide a scalable, standardized approach that can be replicated across suppliers and value chain partners.
