What Is the PAS 2050 measurement?
This methodology is the most widely consulted upon method for calculating product carbon footprints. It is rigorous and reliable and was developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), the UK Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Carbon Trust, with extensive consultation from more than a 1,000 stakeholders from business, NGOs and Government. This process has benefited from input from expert work groups; support via commissioned research; and insights that arose from testing the draft standard with pilot companies.
