COMPASS Standard Indicators

Considers the total quantity of fossil fuel consumed throughout the life cycle. 

The total quantity of greenhouse gasses (GHG) emitted throughout the life cycle. Considers global warming potential for a 100-year timeframe.

The total quantity of greenhouse gasses (GHG) emitted throughout the life cycle. Considers global warming potential for a 100-year timeframe and includes the climate carbon feedback and accounts for carbon sequestration and biogenic carbon emissions.

Represents the relative available water remaining per area in a watershed after the demand of humans, aquatic ecosystems, and manufacturing processes has been met, compared to the world average.

Represents the availability of mineral resources and the impact of their depletion on future populations.

Emissions of phosphorus compounds released during the production of materials, which contribute to higher eutrophication in freshwater systems. Eutrophication is the abnormal increase in chemical nutrients that causes excessive plant/algal growth and decay resulting in an anoxic condition in freshwater systems, the major consequence being algal blooms.

The measure of the ecotoxicity impact of chemical releases to air, water, and land using aquatic toxicity factors.

The quantity of short-term environmental emissions resulting in cancer and toxic non-cancer impacts to humans released throughout the life cycle.

Carbon Accounting Methods

Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs)

Measures total greenhouse gas emissions (in kg CO₂e) from a product’s lifecycle. Scope can range from cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave, depending on system boundaries. Used for regulatory compliance, customer requests, brand differentiation, shareholder reporting, and scope accounting.
Learn More about PCFs

Scope 1, 2, and 3

Scope 1 includes direct GHG emissions from company-owned sources, such as fuel combustion, on-site power generation, and industrial gases. Scope 2 is indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam. Scope 3 encompasses all other indirect emissions, including those from supply chain and product end-of-life.

Environmental Footprint (EF) Method

A globally-recognized LCA methodology that utilizes 16 indicators ranging from climate change and water use to particulate matter and acidification. It was created by the European Commission in 2013 and aligns with EU policy requirements.
