Environmental Footprint Configuration is the next step in sustainable manufacturing
With Tacton CPQ Environmental Footprint Configuration, manufacturers can automate and scale the climate impact calculations of your sold products.
These calculations can help create carbon transparency to your customers, your company, legislators and investors.
What are some common sustainability challenges for manufacturers?
The B2B manufacturing products you sell have a climate impact all through production, transportation, usage, and end-of-life. The main impact is often not within the direct management of the manufacturer, but so called Scope 3 caused during product usage or material extraction.
Calculating and being transparent about this footprint will be required not only by legislators and your customers, but also by investors and your employees.
But how to scale Life-Cycle Assessments when every product, customer and usage is unique?
