Atos
Atos is a next-gen technology leader specializing in data-driven, trusted, and sustainable digital transformation. With patented technologies and leading positions in advanced computing, security, AI, cloud, and digital platforms, we offer deep expertise across all industries in over 47 countries. Our team of 47,000 world-class talents expands the possibilities of data and technology across the digital continuum, now and for future generations.
We support our customers’ net-zero transition by offering advisory and digital solutions that foster a sustainable digital business environment. Specifically for the chemical value chain, we’ve developed the “PCF Platform” software to automatically calculate the Product Carbon Footprints of all customer products. This platform meets the unique requirements of the chemical industry and complies with ISO standards, the GHG Protocol, and industry-specific regulations.
Our solution is uniquely tailored for the chemical industry, developed in collaboration with major players in the field. It features a pre-defined allocation rule that ensures consistent emission allocation across product portfolios, even in multi-output scenarios. This rule also supports transparent PCF calculations for products with an “internal supply chain” – ideal for companies producing intermediates.
The platform can handle emission data from both secondary databases and primary data from raw material suppliers, as well as Scope 1 and 2 emissions from customer systems. It supports manual and automated data loads via REST APIs, including mass exports and product reports for end customers.
The PCF Platform is an all-in-one solution designed for large-scale PCF calculations, meeting market demands for precise and audited PCF scores in the chemical industry. It also allows companies to run projections and answer “what-if” scenarios directly within the application.
Our collaboration with Carbon Minds enhances the precision of PCF calculations by providing access to the most comprehensive CO2 emission database for chemical products. While the ultimate goal is to use primary data from suppliers, this partnership allows our customers to rely on the most valid alternative data available, ensuring their PCF calculations are as accurate as possible. This is crucial for advancing towards a circular economy.
