Scaling PCFs for Innotech to Meet Customer Demand

The Situation

Innotech, a leading global supplier of wide and grand format print media and display hardware, received a request from a key customer for product carbon footprints (PCFs).

The customer provided detailed methodological requirements and indicated that PCF provision would become a factor in future contract awards. This made the request both technically demanding and commercially important.

Innotech partnered with Anthesis to respond quickly and credibly, developing product footprints aligned to the customer’s precise requirements while also building a repeatable PCF capability for future customer and market needs.

Solution

Anthesis experts configured Anthesis Intelligence’s Product Assessment module around Innotech’s products, available data, and customer requirements.

Working closely with Innotech and its suppliers, the team collected available product, production, and supply chain data across a diverse product range. Where gaps existed, Anthesis applied expert judgement, best-available secondary data, and transparent assumptions to complete robust product footprint calculations.

Once the data was integrated into Innotech’s custom-configured assessment tool, Anthesis used the platform’s automated reporting capability to generate detailed, Innotech-branded PCF reports for each product, which Innotech was then able to provide directly to its customer.

Anthesis helped us respond quickly and confidently to an important customer request for Product Carbon Footprints, strengthening a key commercial relationship.

The team made a complex process clear and manageable, guiding us through data collection, applying the right technical expertise, and delivering professional outputs that met our customer’s needs.

The work has also given us a strong foundation to build from. We now have greater clarity on how to respond to future Scope 3 PCF requests, and a better understanding of where the biggest opportunities lie to reduce product impacts.
