Introducing Instep Greenscore Product Lifecycle Assessment Programme

Greenscore is a Product Carbon Footprint Programme based around ISO14067.(Carbon footprint of products – Requirements and guidelines for quantification and communication). This is a new standard currently in draft form and due for publication in 2014.

Greenscore offers a step by step scientific approach that allows product producers to review findings on a regular basis, and decide at what point the programme delivers what they, or their clients require.
