Carbon footprint calculations
Calculate your carbon footprint
A ClimateCalc calculation provides the customer and manufacturer with relevant knowledge about the total carbon footprint of the print and packaging product from Scope 1, 2 and 3 according to The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and several international industry standards and ISO standards.
The ClimateCalc calculation also provides knowledge about the more specific aspects of the design and production process, which contribute to the overall carbon footprint. This knowledge can be used in the dialogue between customer and producer to make prioritized choices of e.g. less carbon emitting energy sources and materials that can contribute to an improved carbon footprint for the product.
Finally, a specific product calculation also provides a documented and precise basis for possible compensation of the remaining carbon footprint.

ClimateCalc certified companies
A ClimateCalc certification documents that the company's data and carbon account have been verified by an external independent party during an annual audit.
The audit includes a check that the company's data is correct and that the data quality is in accordance with the guidelines for the use of data that form the basis of ClimateCalc.
Only companies that are ClimateCalc certified can use ClimateCalc to calculate the carbon footprint of specific print or packaging products.
Data and standards
The quality and credibility of a carbon calculation for a specific product depends particularly on the data used and how representative they are for both the company and the specific raw materials used in the production of the product.
ClimateCalc therefore uses data that is as specific to the company and product as possible. When specific data is not possible, data from internationally recognized databases is used.
ClimateCalc uses verified data and calculates in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and several international industry standards and ISO standards, ensuring that the calculations can be compared across companies and countries.
