Venator, a global manufacturer of pigments and additives, has announced the successful rollout of the Eviden Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) platform. This milestone marks the completion of a project that began in October 2023 and concluded in December 2024.

The specialist digital PCF Platform provides full automation of the PCF calculation for Venator's extensive product portfolio and enables Venator to deliver accurate data on the carbon footprint of its products to its customers.

Rob Portsmouth, Executive Vice President, EHS, Sustainability and HR at Venator, commented: “The successful implementation of the PCF Platform is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey and our collaboration with Atos, through its Eviden business group, was characterized by great cooperation and close teamwork.

“This advanced tool empowers us to assess our portfolio and production network in terms of CO2 emissions and take actionable steps to reduce our PCF. The tool's automation capabilities provide us with clear, transparent, and comparable PCF data, offering valuable insights into internal and external supply chain dependencies.

“It allows us to get a clear view of the carbon footprint of our products, as well as being able to share these with our customers, ultimately helping them achieve their own ESG goals. This platform not only enhances our ability to measure and manage the carbon footprint of our products but also supports our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement. By providing our customers with detailed carbon footprint data, we empower them to make more informed choices and contribute to a more sustainable future.”

The Eviden PCF Platform and its methodology, developed together with BASF, is based on Life Cycle Assessment methodology and calculates cradle-to-gate PCF.
