New AI-native solution helps manufacturers scale product carbon footprints across their entire product portfolio and meet rising customer demand for carbon transparency.
Ottawa, ON, Apr. 14, 2026 — Assent Inc. (Assent), the global leader in supply chain sustainability management, today announces the Assent Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) solution, designed to help manufacturers calculate and scale PCFs across their entire product portfolio, and increase transparency.
PCF data is increasingly necessary to protect market access for manufacturers and prevent lost contracts by meeting rising requests for product-level emissions. However, most organizations use fragmented tools to manually collect data, reducing their ability to scale data collection across their products, and requiring months of effort before seeing results.
Assent’s PCF solution leverages Assent’s data collection capabilities and supplier network, and enables manufacturers to generate product carbon footprints across their portfolio at scale. Using product data such as BOMs, materials, and attributes as a foundation, the solution enriches incomplete inputs with modeled data, maps materials to emissions factors using recognized methodologies, and produces cradle-to-gate carbon footprint results with clear emissions breakdowns.
By reducing repetitive work and aligning with growing customer demand for greater PCF transparency, the solution allows teams to rapidly generate and share reliable PCF calculations with key stakeholders, improving efficiency in both reporting and customer response workflows.
“Most of the challenge isn’t the actual calculation,” shares Catherine Cormier, Chief Innovation Officer at Assent. “The bigger lift, especially when you’re dealing with large portfolios of complex products, is collecting and organizing all the data. Starting with the data you have now allows companies to establish a baseline, identify key hotspots, and improve data quality over time as expectations evolve. Waiting makes it harder to respond quickly and confidently when those customer requests come in.”
Assent’s PCF offering helps companies leverage their existing data and improve reporting accuracy as their program grows. When carbon data needs to scale quickly, and customer contracts are at stake, Assent’s solution is critical to help manufacturers with complex supply chains create a pragmatic, strong data foundation that will scale as their sustainability and transparency initiatives continue to evolve.
