Companies must demonstrate the decrease through transparent reporting, based on a consistent and reliable methodology. Our approach includes a thorough review of the product’s carbon footprint over time, following the requirements of ISO 14067:2018, and a check of the reduction measures including product design improvements, material sourcing, and process efficiency.
This verification assures customers that the decrease is genuine, measurable, and not reliant on carbon offsetting, further enhancing the credibility of sustainability claims. Upon successful verification, DEKRA issues a Carbon Decreased Product Verification report and certificate. The verification includes ongoing monitoring and re-verification to ensure that carbon reduction targets are maintained over time.
