Estimated industry average emissions of CO₂ and other gases that cause global warming (collectively, CO₂e) during the sourcing, manufacturing and delivery of an item, including corporate emissions (cradle to customer).
Correspondingly, this is the product’s CO₂e reduction potential if abatement efforts and carbon offsets are fully realized.
As defined by the U.S. EPA, CO₂e is a measurement of the total greenhouse gases emitted, expressed in terms of the equivalent measurement of carbon dioxide. This conversion is based on the ‘Global Warming Potential’ (GWP), i.e. the measure of warming that is contributed by each gas to the greenhouse effect. One kg of CO₂ equivalents is equivalent to the effect of one kg of CO₂ emission. The emission of 1 kg of nitrous oxide (N₂O) equals 273 kg of CO₂ equivalents, and the emission of 1 kg of methane (CH₄) is equal to 27-30 kg CO₂ equivalents (link).
The units are reported in kilograms - 1 kilogram (kg) is 2.2043 pounds (lbs), or approximately 2 pounds 3 1/4 ounces.
Further information can be found on the detailed product page under ‘Carbon Credentials’.

Independently validated to reduce CO₂ (or other gases that cause global warming [CO₂e]) from the atmosphere via:

an absolute reduction of the amount of products or services consumed

efficiency improvements achieved without changing the amount of products or services consumed

a modal shift in consumption from a higher to lower-emissions intensive one

providing concrete ways to shift behaviors

no information is available about this company’s efforts to reduce cradle to customer GHG emissions (offsets are considered separately)

Information about different types of offset projects designed with the express goal of reducing atmospheric CO₂e levels.

Renewable Generation. The generation of clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power to displace fossil-fuel-based energy sources

Reforestation. The replanting of trees in an area that was previously covered by forests but has experienced deforestation, degradation, or significant tree loss

Removal and Avoidance of CO₂ Emission. This offset is derived from a project that both removes carbon dioxide from and avoids its emission to the atmosphere

CO₂ Removal. This offset is derived from a project that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Afforestation. The conversion of non-forested land into a forested area

Avoided Deforestation. Avoided deforestation is a climate mitigation strategy that involves preventing the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere by preserving existing forests

Improved Forest Management. Improved Forest Management is an approach that focuses on enhancing the health, productivity, and carbon sequestration capacity of forests

Agriculture-Driven Carbon Sequestration. A collection of practices that aim to enhance the capacity of agricultural ecosystems to capture and store carbon

Cookstoves. Clean cookstoves reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer co-benefits, such as improved indoor air quality, reduced health risks, time savings for households (less time spent collecting firewood), and economic benefits for local communities

Enhanced Efficiency. The improvement of energy efficiency in buildings, industries, and transportation systems so as to reduce energy consumption and thereby lower carbon emissions

Methane Capture. The capture of methane from landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, agricultural operations, and other sources that is not mandated by law: often the methane is burned to generate electricity

Carbon Capture and Sequestration. The capture of carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes or power plants and then storing these underground in geological formations to prevent their release into the atmosphere

Other Offset. See the detailed product page for further information

Net Zero. 3rd party data provides credible information that the production of this product is associated with the the emissions of de minimus CO2, and therefore no offsets are required

Avoided CO₂ Emission. This offset is derived from a project that avoids the emission of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere

Wind Energy. Reduction in GHG emissions through the funding and operationalization of wind energy projects that otherwise would not have been implemented

Offset TBD. The offset for this product is yet to be determined

Further information can be found on the detailed product page under ‘Carbon Credentials’.

Approximate timescale required by different CO₂e offset projects to absorb and sequester (or prevent the emission) the promised amount of CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Weeks to months. This is the highest quality offset.

One or several years. This is an acceptable timeframe for an offset to achieve an impact.

Tens of years. This type of offset is less effective due to the duration CO₂ stays in the atmosphere.

A hundred (or more) years. This offset type is not effective in limiting the impact of global warming.

Offset timing TBD. The offset timing for this product is yet to be determined

Further information can be found on the detailed product page under ‘Carbon Credentials’.

Work to independently validate how a product reduces CO₂ (or other gases that cause global warming [CO₂e]) from the atmosphere is currently pending:

further work is needed to clarify the dominant mechanism by which a company is reducing atmospheric CO2e levels

further work is needed to clarify the offset projects that will reduce atmospheric CO2e levels

further work is needed to establish the time scale on which an offset project will reduce atmospheric CO2e levels
