NEVEON’s certified CO2 calculation tool: A key to reducing emissions
  • NEVEON has successfully validated its tool for calculating carbon footprints and can now calculate the environmental impact of products at selected locations in accordance with ISO 14067. This makes the company an industry pioneer.
  • Quantifying a product’s carbon footprint is essential for adapting the product portfolio and targeting research and development activities.

Vienna, August 20, 2024. NEVEON, a globally successful manufacturer and processor of foam and part of the Greiner Group, has reached a significant milestone with the successful auditing of its specially developed Product Carbon Footprint calculation tool (or “PCF calculation tool”). As a renowned and independent testing authority, TÜV Austria confirmed that the calculation logic of the NEVEON PCF calculation tool complies with the international standard ISO 14067. With this certification, NEVEON can now precisely determine the carbon footprints of its foam products (block foams, rolls, and sheets) at foam-producing sites in Austria and abroad in line with international standards. This makes the Austrian company, based in Vienna, an industry pioneer. 

Carbon footprint quantification essential for reducing emissions

As part of the Greiner Group, NEVEON is committed to complying with the Science Based Targets initiative. The precise quantification of the product’s carbon footprint is essential in achieving the ambitious climate targets.
