What we do

We build shared resources for supply chains to trust carbon data

Three pillars of pact
01
Methodology: Calculate PCF
02
PACT Network: Share anywhere
03
Adoption Hub: Act on your carbon data
The problem & what we build

Each gap in the market maps a solution PACT delivers on

Carbon data fails to move for three reasons. PACT builds a foundation layer to fix each one and together they form the shared infrastructure the whole ecosystem can rely on.

No shared language
Different methods and boundaries make carbon data impossible to compare.
PACT Methodology
Cross-sector rules so a footprint means the same thing to everyone.

No exchange mechanism
Data stays siloed in incompatible systems and spreadsheets, and the moment data has to move from one company's system to another's, it loses meaning: the method, the evidence, the confidence behind the number.
Technical specifications for data exchange & PACT Network
A shared data model and conformance so machine-readable data moves between systems.

No clear implementation process
Companies struggle to adopt PCFs and turn them into real business decisions.
Adoption Hub
Programs that help companies pilot PCFs in their decarbonisation programs and put them to work.

PACT builds each foundation layer, together with other ecosystem players, forming the shared infrastructure for product carbon data.

Who it's for

Find yourself in the value chain

1.
Buyers & procurement

Getting supplier data in formats you can't compare? PACT gives you one standard to request, evaluate, and act on it.

2.
Suppliers & producers

Asked to prove your performance many ways? Calculate and share in a format that works for every buyer and regulator.

3.
Software providers

Building carbon management or supply-chain tools? Implement the shared spec and become interoperable with the whole ecosystem.

4.
Policymakers & regulators

PACT offers policymakers and regulators a practical implementation layer for existing carbon footprinting standards like the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067.

5.
Financial institutions & banks

PACT helps to decide whether a company can access a green loan.

How we work

A coalition, in practice

PACT is built in the open by its members, 88 of the largest multinationals in the world, across sectors and geographies. Focussed working groups deliver the work, resting on two advisory groups that form the foundation PACT is governed by.

Delivered through the working groups
Methodology
Use Case Forum
Implementation Programme
Built on our foundations — how PACT is governed
Strategic Advisory
Technical Advisory

Working groups are subject to change. They are open to PACT members, and each publishes its outputs — methodology guidance, use-case frameworks, regulatory mappings, and implementation support — freely to the ecosystem.

Traction

Not a pilot. Live and scaling.

180+

PACT connects the ecosystem rather than replacing it  and is hosted by WBCSD, on a path toward independent governance as the infrastructure matures.
