Achieving Sustainability: FGN’s Flexitank Carbon Footprint Verification

by | Sep 13, 2024 | Company News

In today’s world, sustainability and environmental responsibility are more important than ever. At FGN Global Logistics, we are proud to announce that our flexitank manufacturer has obtained a SGS “Product Carbon Footprint Verification” statement for our 24,000 liter flexitank. This significant achievement underlines our team’s commitment to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices.

What is Product Carbon Footprint Verification?

Product carbon footprint verification is a process that quantifies the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product throughout its lifecycle. This includes emissions from raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, and other stages up to the point where the product is ready for delivery, also known as “cradle to gate.”

ISO 14067:2018 Standard

The verification was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14067:2018 standard. This international standard specifies principles, requirements, and guidelines for the quantification and reporting of the carbon footprint of a product (CFP). It ensures that the assessment is accurate, transparent, and consistent with global best practices.

Our Flexitank’s Results

The lifecycle assessment of our 24,000-liter flexitank revealed total emissions of 157.62 kg of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). This figure represents the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of one flexitank, from the extraction of raw materials to the final product ready for delivery.

Why This Matters

Achieving this verification is a testament to our team’s ongoing efforts to minimize our environmental footprint. By understanding and quantifying our emissions, we can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to reduce our impact further. This not only helps protect the environment but also aligns with the growing demand from consumers and businesses for more sustainable products.

Conclusion

We are excited to share this milestone with our customers, partners, and stakeholders. Together, we can make a significant difference in reducing our environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable world. We will continue to improve our sustainability efforts and share more updates on our initiatives as we work towards a better tomorrow.
