Carbon footprint for nearly 6,000 products

From the procurement of raw material and production through to delivery to distribution centres and branches worldwide, use on construction sites, repair and cleaning and, finally, the recovery and recycling phase of the product. Almost 6,000 products have been examined right down to the last detail. Or, to be more accurate, to calculate their carbon footprint.

The Product Carbon Footprint makes it absolutely clear where the CO2 hotspots are – an experience that is both fascinating and sobering. What’s more, the information is for the entire product range but it also shows which part of the lifecycle for individual products accounts for the most CO2. You can therefore see at one glance which products are responsible for high greenhouse gas emissions and which have lower emissions. With this, you can also see where you need to act to reduce CO2. At Doka, the PCF forms the basis for more climate-friendly products. And these are an important part of Doka’s climate strategy.

“It took a huge amount of effort involving many colleagues and different user departments. Doka’s product range is made up of nearly 6,000 products and we can now provide the carbon footprint for just under 90% of these products upon request.”


Customers, too, benefit from knowledge about the carbon footprint for the products. Doka allows you to access this data at the press of a button so products can be compared in house. Such transparency allows customers to improve their own carbon footprint, because customers who can compare the carbon footprint of individual products can also order the product with the better carbon footprint. This has also made it possible to implement targeted reduction measures in all areas of value creation. There is one more advantage: CO2 emissions can now be assigned to the relevant customer project, measured according to the rental duration in months. This is Doka’s contribution to construction sites that are assigned specific carbon budgets.

Together we drive momentum

As part of the Umdasch Group, we at Doka aim to not only be economically successful, but also fulfill our ecological and social responsibilities as well as our responsibility as an employer. Therefore, we regularly set impulses within and outside our company and drive international initiatives that make our common working and living environment more sustainable.

It is an exciting topic and it has kept our very different Doka user departments in suspense. However, it was worth all the effort to examine six thousand products throughout their whole lifecycle. Surprising insights, new knowledge, exciting facts and unexpected clarity followed in quick succession and bonded the teams across different departments. It has been clear within the company for a long time that Doka’s ecological climate strategy focuses on the key areas of decarbonisation and the circular economy. It is also obvious that the two footprints – Product Carbon Footprint and Corporate Carbon Footprint – are essential prerequisites for implementing the climate strategy. Now we know what they are, targeted measures can be incorporated in all Doka value-added processes.

”A crucial key factor in the project was preparation of the data in house and the creation of Doka’s own CO2 model, which maps all lifecycle phases: thanks to excellent controlling, this was developed in house in the course of a long process. Thank you to everyone!“

Doka and Umdasch Group are committed to sustainable development.
This is why we subscribe to initiatives that are aligned with the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals”.
