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.
In other words, we make Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) less daunting, customisable and cost effective. Get in touch to find out more.
Why greenscore?
With overwhelming evidence of increased demand from purchasers for product environmental transparency, producers need to have evidence of credible data on Product Life Cycle Inventories and the environmental impact generated from a product during its useful life.
Until now these requests have been daunting for most producers.
Instep has developed a cost effective, scientific programme which allows you to be in the position to meet these important environmental expectations when purchasers are considering their preferred supply chain partners.
Increasingly, organisations are required to report their sustainability efforts. Increasingly as well, many (in Singapore) see that there is a benefit to moving past traditional CSR type non-financial metrics to include measures of material use, water consumption and carbon footprint.
Carbon is increasingly an important aspect of these trends in sustainability reporting, due to the urgent global attention to climate change. Relating back to sustainability reporting, it is for example, one of the items within the Global Reporting Initiative framework, and increasingly, “Green” Certifications are stipulating a requirement or advocating that companies measure their GHG emissions.

From Press Release:
ECO Special Waste Management (ECO) is pleased to announce the final completion of the first Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project in Singapore, under the Kyoto Protocol for control and management of greenhouse gases. This final completion was marked by the issuance on September 13th 2012 of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), otherwise known as Carbon Credits, by the Executive Board of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to ECO’s facility “Dehydration and incineration of sewage sludge in Singapore.” (The project). ECO will now sell these credits to buyers in Europe or Japan to offset greenhouse gas emissions there.
“This is remarkable as the first issuance of carbon credits to any project or company in Singapore, is for a very large scale project, and is also the first sewage sludge project of its kind in the world to be approved and certified under the Clean Development Mechanism,” commented Rick Reidinger, CEO of ECO. “Moreover, the Project is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, and has the potential to be adopted in other key cities in the Region to address the growing problems of sewage sludge disposal.”
Can you say “good problem to have”?
