Global carbon data project boosted by agreement with HowGood

Global Carbon Data Project Gains Momentum with HowGood Partnership

HowGood, a sustainability platform widely used by food and agriculture companies, has become the latest organization to adopt a unified approach for sharing product carbon footprints. This marks a significant step in advancing transparency and standardization in emissions data exchange across industries.

Boosting Cross-Industry Carbon Footprint Exchange

A recent boost to a cross-industry initiative aimed at simplifying the exchange of product carbon footprints came when a leading source of food-sector emissions data agreed to follow the project's guidelines. The goal is to make sharing a product's carbon footprint as straightforward as sending an email.

Expanding Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT)

HowGood's decision adds to a growing list of organizations conforming to the product carbon footprint standard developed by the Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT). This list features global corporations across various sectors, including:

Addressing Incompatibility in Carbon Data Exchange

Currently, carbon footprint data exchange suffers from inconsistent rules between industries and companies. Using an analogy, it is as if different companies’ messaging systems were incompatible, preventing effective communication.

The PACT standard is designed to eliminate existing barriers and create a global, industry-agnostic set of interoperable rules.

This effort aims to foster seamless, universal communication across all sectors, enhancing transparency and collaboration in sustainability practices.

What if exchanging a product carbon footprint were as easy as sending an email?

Author's summary: HowGood joins a growing coalition adopting PACT’s unified carbon footprint standard, simplifying emissions data exchange across industries to improve transparency and collaboration.
