The climate footprint of a product refers to its impact on climate change. It is assessed by measuring the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.) emitted throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal (cradle to grave), expressed in kilograms of CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
CO2e is a standardised unit created by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to compare various greenhouse gases (GHG). Each of the greenhouse gases has a different “global warming potential” (their power to heat the atmosphere). For example, the IPCC estimates that 1 ton of methane has on average a global warming potential 28 times greater than 1 ton of CO2. This means that 1 ton of methane = 28 tons CO2e.
We standardise reading the Product Climate Footprint (PCF) by converting each greenhouse gas and its impact into kg equivalent of CO2. This is why you see an "e" after CO2, standing for "equivalent".
We aim to reduce the impact of our product portfolio and provide insight for you to help you estimate the potential impact based of your purchase.
The first step to GHG reduction is measuring. With our scale, we believe we have the power to encourage our suppliers worldwide to decrease their products’ climate footprint and join us in our aim to address climate change.
Climate footprint (PCF) information is gradually expanding as we continue collecting data from more suppliers and products. Because this is still an emerging topic for many partners, it will take time before we can provide PCF values for the majority of our assortment.
However, for products where PCF data is already available, the information is displayed directly on the product detail page under the “Sustainable Selection” section.
We understand it is important for you to have access to transparent information about the climate footprint of the products you purchase. Informed decisions can bring significant changes in consumption patterns, promoting sustainability throughout the whole supply chain in the long term.
To ensure consistency and accuracy, we have established requirements and aligned with manufacturers or suppliers:
In general, you can distinguish different data accuracy although it uses the same methodology and scope. They are as follows:
The information shared by Lyreco is provided by the manufacturer or supplier OR it is based on the Global Warming Potential (GWP) calculation conducted by 3rd party service provider.
Lyreco’s GWP-based data and reports follow ISO 14040/14044 for life cycle assessments and ISO 14067 for product carbon footprint calculations.
Today, direct comparisons between products are not always possible because the market is still developing. Suppliers use different methodologies, data sources, and scopes when calculating climate footprints, which means the results are not yet fully aligned.
As the market matures and the use of common methods becomes more widespread, we expect greater consistency and comparability. Our approach supports this evolution by first building transparency and baselines, enabling more reliable product‑to‑product comparisons in the future.
Product Climate Footprint is a developing field, with evolving methodologies. While we aim for standardisation, current variations exist among manufacturers.
At this moment, each manufacturer in the same category could choose a different methodology to conduct the product’s validated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Therefore, the information we provide serves as a rough estimation and may not facilitate direct comparisons between products. It is not suitable to use to compare the impact of one to another product in the same category.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardised and verified document that provides transparent and comparable information about the environmental performance of a product or service throughout its lifecycle. It includes data on environmental impacts such as energy consumption, GHG emissions, water usage, and waste generation.
Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) is a methodology developed by the European Commission to assess and communicate the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. PEF aims to provide standardised and comparable information about the environmental impacts of products, helping consumers, businesses, and policymakers make informed decisions.
Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere over a specific period, relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a GWP of 1. Greenhouse gases vary in their ability to trap heat, and GWP allows for comparisons of their warming effects.
Suppliers provide the information and or evidence, which may include reports or information/data directly from the supplier. The responsibility for data accuracy and consistency relies upon suppliers.

Standards such as ISO 14040/14044 for life cycle assessments and ISO 14067 used to measure and report carbon footprint of products.
As a reseller, we are actively engaging with our suppliers to obtain information on the climate footprint of their products. However, since this is a evolving topic for many of our suppliers, we anticipate that it will take a few years before we can provide climate footprint information for the majority of the products we offer.
In general, a comparison is only possible when the methodology and scope used to calculate the climate footprints are the same for both products. If the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology or scope differs, the information cannot be used for direct comparisons of carbon emissions. Variations in these factors can lead to inaccurate comparisons within the same product category.
We update our climate footprint data whenever we receive updated information from our suppliers when there are significant changes in the production process, supply chain, or materials used.
Yes, we can provide detailed reports on the climate footprint of specific products. Please contact our customer support team to request this information.
We aim to reduce the impact of our product portfolio and provide insights to help you estimate the potential impact of your purchases. This is an initial step to encourage our suppliers to disclose their climate footprint data. In the future, we hope to support you further in understanding the potential impact of your purchases.
At this moment, we are still in the implementation phase of displaying climate footprint information on the Lyreco webshop, country by country. Generally, customers can find the climate footprint information on the product detail page under the “Sustainable Selection” section.
