Carbon Science | Why do companies need to undergo carbon footprint certification?

Global warming is a common challenge for all mankind. Responding to global warming is related to the future and destiny of all mankind. In response, countries around the world have taken corresponding countermeasures: more than 66 countries have pledged to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2050, and China has pledged to strive to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2060. Against the backdrop of global low-carbon emission reduction, companies are increasingly demanding carbon footprint certification:

Carbon footprint certification is needed to deal with green trade barriers. With developed countries launching carbon tariff policies, international companies have also put forward requirements such as carbon labeling. Carbon footprint certification has become a driving force for global carbon emission reduction. On the other hand, it has also set up new trade barriers for developing countries including China. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States have established a variety of low-carbon certification systems and labels. In the future, product carbon footprint labels are likely to become the next green pass for the market.

Participation in the "Dual Carbon" campaign requires carbon footprint certification. If an enterprise wants to truly participate in the "Dual Carbon" campaign, the first step is to select a year as a base year and calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of that year as the emission base; the second step is to implement emission reduction and offset measures according to its own situation; the third step is to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and emission reductions every year and conduct carbon neutrality certification. Product carbon footprint certification is one of the most important steps in the dual carbon campaign.

Carbon footprint certification is required to save energy and reduce consumption, and save production costs. The product carbon footprint shows the greenhouse gas emissions during the product life cycle, which can help companies identify the high environmental cost links of their products and make improvements, promote upstream and downstream companies in the industrial chain to achieve significant emission reductions and carbon reduction, and fully establish a low-carbon, clean, safe and efficient green energy system.

What are the authoritative carbon footprint certifications in the world?

Internationally renowned certification bodies such as Switzerland's SGS, the British Standards Institution BSI, the American underwriters Laboratories UL, Germany's Rhine, France's Bureau Veritas, the UK Carbon Trust, as well as many domestic institutions such as the China Quality Certification Center and Shanghai SuperNet, all provide product carbon footprint certification and evaluation services.

At present, Uni-President Lubricants' Titanium King T7 and T10 diesel engine oils have passed the British Standards Institute (BSI) carbon footprint certification, which can reduce carbon emissions by 15.72%.

Shiwei hydraulic oil has passed the carbon footprint certification of the British Standards Institution (BSI) , which can reduce carbon emissions by 43.12%.

In addition, Uni-President is also promoting cooperation with SGS Swiss Standards Technical Services to carry out a new round of product carbon footprint certification and company-level carbon footprint verification.

Evaluating carbon footprint is the first step for companies to take conscious action to address global warming. In the future, Uni-President will consciously and continuously conduct carbon footprint assessments, propose improvement measures for its long-term energy conservation and emission reduction management policy, further improve energy efficiency, and assume dual carbon responsibilities for the country and the world.
