Why is it important to consider a product’s or vessel’s lifecycle emissions data when making green claims?

As we transition to a greener future, it’s essential to look at the full picture when assessing the environmental impact of products, vessels, and their energy sources. Direct emissions alone don’t give the complete picture of their secondary effects. This is where the EU Green Claims Directive becomes important.
Even the new green energy sources can produce significant indirect emissions during their production and supply-chain processes. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the entire lifecycle of products, vessels, and energy sources, from production to disposal.
This approach allows you to make data-driven decisions and identify hotspots to help reduce carbon footprints while promoting positive change within the heavy manufacturing and shipping industries.
By setting clear standards for the production, distribution, and consumption of products, vessels, and energy sources, we can ensure that your green claims are both credible and genuine. This approach helps the industries measure their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, leading to a more compliant and environmentally responsible future.
