The lubricants and grease industry occupies a unique and critical position, being integral to multiple sectors, including chemical, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Its relevance across these industries underscores the importance of harmonized PCF methodologies to ensure consistent and accurate reporting of carbon footprints, which in turn supports sustainability goals and regulatory compliance.
The ATIEL & UEIL Joint Sustainability Committee, in collaboration with an independent consultant Carbon Minds, has conducted an in-depth analysis of various PCF guidelines, including those from UEIL/ATIEL, Catena-X, TfS, and API. This white paper highlights the similarities and addresses the differences between these methodologies and advocates for the acceptance of sector specific methodologies across the value chain.
