✦ AI Summary
L&F said on the 7th that it had received a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) verification opinion based on ISO 14067 for its cathode material products from LRQA.
PCF is an indicator that calculates greenhouse gas emissions across the entire process, including raw material procurement, energy use, waste treatment, and wastewater treatment, and ISO 14067 is an international standard established in 2018.
L&F said the verification has enabled the company to systematically calculate and manage product-level carbon emissions and has also enhanced its external credibility.
L&F announced on the 7th that it had received a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) verification opinion based on ISO 14067 for its cathode material products from LRQA, the Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance. L&F said it had received a verification opinion from an accredited verification body and had its cathode material products’ carbon footprint verified in line with international standards.
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is an indicator that calculates greenhouse gas emissions across the entire process, including raw material procurement, energy use, waste treatment, and wastewater treatment. ISO 14067 is an international standard for the objective measurement and reporting of carbon footprints established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2018, and it is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
L&F emphasized that the verification has enabled the company to systematically calculate and manage product-level carbon emissions. Based on this, it also said it had strengthened its ability to respond to global environmental (carbon) regulations and customer requirements.
L&F emphasized that the verification has enhanced its external credibility. The company said that, based on this verification, it has secured the reliability needed to respond to global carbon regulations and customer demands.
As global environmental regulations, including EU battery regulations, tighten, the carbon footprint is emerging as key data for automakers and battery makers to manage carbon emissions across their supply chains. The carbon footprint is also positioning itself as an indicator that can directly affect future sales.
Against this backdrop, discussions are actively under way within supply chains about the importance of product carbon footprints with high accuracy and reliability. L&F said it has secured objective capabilities to respond to this through the latest verification.
L&F plans to continuously refine product-level carbon data using the ABB Smart Factory LCA system and to systematically pursue carbon emission reduction activities across its production processes, energy use, and raw material procurement.
Park Nam-won, head of L&F's Strategic Planning Division, said the latest Product Carbon Footprint verification is an achievement that formally recognizes L&F's carbon data management capabilities that meet global standards. He added that the company will continue to precisely manage carbon emissions based on Life Cycle Assessment, advance reduction activities, and contribute to strengthening product sales competitiveness, while also supporting the establishment of a sustainable battery supply chain.
