Syensqo has committed to reaching carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040. This certification marks a significant step forward in that journey.
Syensqo has secured third-party certification for the methodology behind its digital Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) tool, which is currently deployed across its Novecare business line. The certification confirms the robustness and reliability of the tool in calculating the carbon footprint of products used in Coatings and various industrial sectors.
Conducted by TÜV Rheinland, the certification process involved rigorous audits and verification of the tool’s functionality. It ensures full compliance with internationally recognised standards, including ISO 14067 and the Together for Sustainability (TfS) guidelines tailored for the chemical industry. This milestone reinforces Syensqo’s commitment to supporting customers on their sustainability journeys. By providing credible, high-quality carbon data, the company aims to help partners reduce emissions and build more sustainable value chains.
“This certification reinforces our ability to support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals by guaranteeing the validity of our calculations. By certifying our digital PCF tool, we’re demonstrating our commitment to delivering trusted data, fostering a virtuous value chain and enabling the development of sustainable products,” said Michael Radossich, President of Syensqo’s Performance & Care Division.
PCF is emerging as a key indicator of a product’s environmental impact, and Syensqo is scaling up its efforts accordingly. In 2024, customer demand for PCF data across the Novecare portfolio increased tenfold compared to 2023, highlighting both growing market focus and the enhanced capabilities of Syensqo’s digital tool.
The tool is also central to two major supplier-focused initiatives. The first involves integrating verified PCF data from suppliers into Syensqo’s digital calculations. This enabled the company to align PCF values with its suppliers for 38% of its raw materials Scope 3 emissions in 2024. The second, launched in 2025, sees Syensqo working with its Top 70 suppliers to establish Climate Pledges—commitments to support decarbonisation efforts aimed at lowering PCF. As of April 2025, this initiative covered 35% of Scope 3 emissions from raw materials.
