Carbon Footprint for insight into climate impact
Normec conducts Carbon Footprint (CFP) studies as an application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. Whereas an LCA analyzes multiple environmental impacts, a CFP focuses specifically on the impact on climate change.
A CFP gives you insight into greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the product or service level. This helps you take targeted steps to reduce your climate impact.
Our approach: according to international standards
Normec conducts CFP studies according to internationally recognized standards, such as:
- ISO 14067
- PAS 2050
ISO 14067 was developed specifically for carbon footprint calculations. PAS 2050 is used as the basis for certification within the PAS 2060 standard for carbon neutrality.
Which standard fits best depends on your objective and possible certification pathways. We ensure that the analysis fits your needs and requirements.
Reliable basis for reporting and strategy
The results of a CFP study can be used for various applications. Think of monitoring and reporting emissions, but also of developing improvement strategies for products, services and processes.
In addition, a CFP forms an important basis for participation in carbon footprint or carbon neutrality programs of external parties. Normec provides the necessary substantiation for this, but does not provide certification or labels itself.
This is what it gives you in concrete terms:
- You gain insight into total greenhouse gas emissions.
- You identify the largest sources of CO₂ impact.
- You support sustainability objectives with data
- You develop targeted strategies for reducing emissions
- You prepare for certification processes
Working together to reduce your CO₂ impact
Understanding your CO₂ emissions is the first step towards reduction. With a Carbon Footprint from Normec you can make well-founded choices and work towards a more sustainable organization. Together we ensure measurable impact and future-oriented solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Carbon Footprint is an analysis of the total greenhouse gas emissions of a product, service or organization.
-
A CFP focuses only on climate impact (carbon emissions), while an LCA analyzes multiple environmental impacts.
-
Usually according to ISO 14067 or PAS 2050, depending on the purpose and possible certification.
-
Because it provides insight into where emissions occur and how to reduce them.
-
Yes, a CFP can serve as a basis for certification processes, such as CO₂ neutrality, but Normec does not provide certification itself.
-
For organizations that want to measure, report and reduce their climate impact.
