The European Commission released the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Guide in April, 2013, along with the Organizational Environmental Footprint (OEF) Guide, under the premise of the “Single Market for Green Products Initiative.” The objective is to support a single metric for a single market, thus enhancing transparency and fair competition.

Lack of global harmonization between Product Category Rules (PCRs), or sector guidance documents, has led to the development of duplicate PCRs for the same products. A comparison template was developed to compare PCRs from different global program operators, in collaboration with the School of Sustainability, DEFRA, Interface, and EPA. Below is a summary of the project:

Numerous standards and guidelines have recently been developed by public and private organizations in order to meet society’s needs for credible and comparable environmental metrics at the product and organization level.
