The Code of Good Practice provides organisations using PAS 2050 to assess the carbon footprint of their products with further guidance for assessing reductions in the GHG emissions of products over time, and guidance on communicating product carbon footprint assessment and reductions for products.
The Code builds on the requirements specified in PAS 2050, and supports further comparability and conformity when assessing the life cycle GHG emissions of products. To achieve this, claims made under this Code must be accurate, verifiable, relevant and not be misleading. The Code provides a robust structure for reporting the life cycle GHG emissions of products, or a reduction in these emissions, to internal or external stakeholders. This is achieved by helping organisations to communicate their products' life cycle GHG emissions and/or emission reductions, assessed in conformity with PAS 2050, in a robust and clear manner, and on a consistent basis. Product GHG emissions and reduction information may be used by companies, consumers and other stakeholders to make business and purchasing decisions.
