RUDOLF, a leading provider of innovative specialty chemical solutions for textile, construction, coatings, and consumer care industries, has received one of the first Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Program certifications from TÜV SÜD based on the PACT Methodology V3: Methodology for Calculating and Exchanging Cradle-to-Gate Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs). In addition, the RUDOLF PCF Program is aligned with the global chemical sector-specific methodology: Together for Sustainability (TfS) PCF Guideline V3.
The certification applies to all chemical products covered by the RUDOLF PCF Program. This pioneering achievement not only confirms the methodological integrity but also demonstrates how reliable data can guide design-stage decisions, helping us and our partners identify realistic opportunities early in the development process and turning transparency into actionable impact across the value chain. We are committed to expanding the RUDOLF PCF program across our global operations, creating a solid foundation for meaningful change. RUDOLF shares comparable PCF data as a service to customers, enabling brands to integrate carbon considerations into sourcing and innovation strategies. This approach fosters collaboration across the value chain and supports measurable progress toward climate objectives.
“El programa PCF certificado de RUDOLF muestra cómo los datos sobre carbono pueden liberar un verdadero valor comercial”, dice Naama Avni Kadosh, Director de la Asociación para la Transparencia del Carbono (PACT) del Consejo Empresarial Mundial para el Desarrollo Sostenible (WBCSD). “Basado en la metodología PACT y alineado con TfS (Together for Sustainability), este programa permite decisiones más inteligentes y apoya cadenas de suministro más transparentes en todo el sector.”
„Responsibility has been part of RUDOLF’s DNA for more than a century. This certification is not just a technical achievement; it reflects our enduring commitment to rethink chemistry for the benefit of people and the planet. By embedding transparency into our processes, we transform a legacy of innovation into a lever for systemic change across global value chains.“
— Dr. Gunther Duschek, CTOO
“For us, credibility comes with solid data. The certification of our PCF Program is not the finish line; it is a foundation. It gives our R&D and our partners reliable insights that help us make better decisions, focus on what is truly impactful, and move forward step by step with ambition and pragmatism.”
– Fabian Walda, Head of Sustainability
