PCF app PACIFIC launched on Cofinity-X

BASF, CircularTree and Cofinity-X have taken a significant step towards sustainability together. The result of this collaboration is the PCF app PACIFIC. The PACIFIC app is an advanced solution for sharing key Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data and is now available in the Catena-X Automotive Ecosystem in the Cofinity-X App Store. BASF customers can now register and get access to this innovative technology! Developed in cooperation with CircularTree, the PACIFIC application marks the result of three years of intensive collaboration and the achievement of key sustainability standards.

After three years of intensive collaboration within the Catena-X consortium in the field of sustainability, important milestones have been reached with the development of various standards. These include, among others, a PCF rulebook, a PCF kit and a PCF data model, to name just a few examples. The standards aim to facilitate the exchange of product carbon footprint (PCF) data within the Catena-X data ecosystem and thus make a targeted contribution to sustainability:

PCF Rulebook

The PCF Rulebook provides guidelines and best practices for calculating, reporting and sharing PCF data in the automotive industry.

PCF Kit

The PCF Kit is a toolkit that provides practical tools and resources for the implementation of PCF standards.

PCF Data Model

The PCF Data Model establishes a standardized structure and format for the presentation of PCF data and ensures compatibility and interoperability between different systems and stakeholders.
