The assignment
As a producer supplying products to Systembolaget’s assortment, you play a central role in providing accurate and highquality climate data. Your production activities form the foundation of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), which means your contribution is essential for creating reliable and comparable results.
Your responsibilities in the data collection process include:
- Preparing and reporting your production related data
- Collaborating with your buyers and supply chain partners
- Supporting upstream suppliers (e.g., growers or raw material providers) when relevant
If you also act as an importer or distributor, you may find the section for direct suppliers useful.
Prepare and report your data
The core principle of PCF reporting is that each actor reports the data they control. As a producer, your contribution typically includes:
- Production data (e.g energy use, inputs)
- Ingredients
- Packaging information
- Transport data for shipments you arrange
Before you start reporting data in CarbonCloud, we recommend establishing solid processes for collecting the necessary information. Some data will be easy to find, while others may require more effort.
You may also need to perform certain calculations outside the platform, such as allocation calculations.
If you have not yet got an invitation to the CarbonCloud platform, contact your Swedish buyer and begin your reporting journey. Learn more about accessing the platform under Getting started.
Engaging your supply chain
A complete Product Carbon Footprint requires collaboration across the entire value chain. As a producer, you may need to engage upstream suppliers such as growers, rawmaterial providers, or packaging suppliers.
Help your suppliers prepare to report their data
Before your upstream suppliers can report their data in the CarbonCloud platform, they may need time to collect information and identify relevant data sources.
Support channels are listed under Support.
When your suppliers are ready to begin reporting, the next step is to invite them to the CarbonCloud platform. Learn how to in the User Guide for the CarbonCloud Platform which you also can find in the CarbonCloud Platform.
