Paris, (France)
– December
7, 2022 – Atos today announces
that it is working with Venator (NYSE: VNTR), a global manufacturer
and marketer of chemical products, using Atos’ digital solution to
automate the carbon footprint calculation of its products. This
will enable Venator to deliver superior product data on the carbon
footprint of its products to its customers and enables Venator to
assess its portfolio and production network in terms of CO2
emissions and take action to reduce their PCF (Product Carbon
Footprint). Venator produces a broad range of pigments and
additives that bring colour and vibrancy to buildings, protect and
extend product life, and reduce energy consumption.
From October 2022 until March 2023, Venator
works with Atos using this digital solution that calculates product
carbon footprints (PCF) for the chemical industry to gather key
insights in line with its existing ERP and data landscape.
The PCF calculation tool (SCOTT) and methodology
developed by BASF is based on Life Cycle Assessment methodology and
calculates cradle-to-gate PCF. Atos was selected as a partner to
develop and distribute a software platform to make this tool and
methodology available to the industry. The methodology is based on
ISO14067:2018 for the carbon footprint of products, which builds on
the principles and requirements of the ISO standards 14040:2006 and
14044:2006.
Rob Portsmouth, Senior Vice President,
Sustainability at Venator, said: “We’re acutely aware that
what we do today will impact the world tomorrow. Working in a
sustainable way is central to our business. We’re proud of our
progress but we know we can go further. Working with Atos to
automate the carbon footprint calculation of our products is a big
step forward. It will help Venator achieve our ambitions by
identifying improvements needed to make our business and our
product portfolio even more sustainable. Providing product carbon
footprint data will also help our customers make more informed
choices.”
“Our collaboration has shown that Venator is in
a very good position to build an automated PCF with their excellent
data and ERP process foundation.” said Stuart
Lemmon, Head of Net Zero Transformation
Practice, at Atos. “With
this project, Venator will be able to have a clear, transparent,
and comparable PCF for the products in the scope. They will also be
able to gain valuable insights into internal and external supply
chain dependencies, supported by the graph visualization, which can
help them in developing sustainability commitments which span the
entire supply chain.”
Both companies see this digital solution as
important for the chemical industry sector to drive the reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions towards net zero, and an excellent
example of how digital technology can be leveraged to monitor and
manage greenhouse gas emissions.
