By being transparent about its emissions data, BASF hopes to help customers shrink the carbon footprint of their own activities and end products, according to an article from Environment & Energy Leader. The company reportedly plans to release carbon dioxide emissions data for its entire product portfolio – around 45,000 products.

The company will reportedly start sharing information on select product and customer segments over the next several months before making the PCF data available for all its products by the end of 2021.
