Overview

Background

Small and medium brands are held back from becoming impact transparent about their products due to complex and costly methods. There was a clear need for a new service enabling brands to calculate their product's carbon footprints, democratizing the ability to carbon label products.

The challenge was that until now, there was no standard methodology or tool that allowed for the calculation of the carbon footprint of specific products using a scoring system that allowed for the direct comparison of products across brands (and product categories). Other life cycle assessment methodologies are complex, time-consuming, costly, and not standardized.

The 2030 Calculator is a proactive initiative to democratize product carbon footprint calculations. Giving the upper hand to small and medium-size brands who want to challenge bigger brands by making sustainable production and low-impact products a competitive edge.

Describe the creative idea

The 2030 Calculator is the first tool that allows brands to quickly and easily quantify the carbon footprint (carbon equivalent emissions measured in kg CO2e) of the products they manufacture, using a common universal scoring system.

Making these calculations has previously been a costly effort and only the bigger brands have been able to perform them. 2030 Calculator levels the playing field by giving small, local challenger brands a shared tool for creating awareness and transparency.

The 2030 Calculator is a proactive initiative to democratize product carbon footprint calculations. Giving the upper hand to small and medium-size brands who want to challenge bigger brands by making sustainable production and low-impact products a competitive edge.

The bottom line is carbon labeling need to happen now to make sure consumers can make more impact-aware purchase decisions.

Describe the strategy

The 2030 Calculator is the simplest and most efficient tool on the market, so simple that anyone can use it. We want to drastically lower the threshold of calculating a product's carbon footprint. By doing so, we hope to create a standardized methodology for scoring carbon footprint calculations, allowing products to be comparable across brands and product categories. This also allows manufacturers to make more sustainable sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution decisions and enables consumers to make better informed and more sustainable purchase decisions.

Supported product categories:

Apparel / Shoes / Bags & Accessories / Furniture & Household Goods / Jewlery & Watches / Garden & Pets / Hobby & Crafts / Sports & Outdoor / Toys & Baby

With The 2030 Calculator, Doconomy helps to accelerate Brands' ability to perform products level carbon footprint calculations and enables the collection of CO2 data to help support their end-users understanding

Describe the execution

The 2030 Calculator is a proactive initiative to democratize product carbon footprint calculations. Giving the upper hand to small and medium-size brands who wants to challenge bigger brands by making sustainable production and low-impact products a competitive edge.

The solution was developed to have a long-term impact as an open platform solution enabling all brands to access and share emission data.

The methodology is being extended to other product categories- from apparel to shoes, furniture, food & drinks, and consumer electronics and the platform will enable publishing product carbon footprint calculations to an open platform.

Since its launch, it has been adopted by hundreds of companies from small start-ups to some of the largest multi-national global 500 enterprises from around the world and across all industries and product categories.
