Mattermaps is a platform that helps companies manage product-level emissions, also known as Product Carbon Footprints, or PCFs. It supports the exchange and management of trustworthy PCF data across the value chain while respecting data sovereignty, decentralized trust, and business confidentiality.

To start with Mattermaps, register using your work email address. If your company already exists in Mattermaps, your request will be forwarded to your company administrator. If your company does not exist yet, you may become the company administrator and will be able to invite additional users.

Yes. Mattermaps is available globally and can be used by companies and suppliers in different regions.

A Product Carbon Footprint, or PCF, describes the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product. It can include emissions from raw materials, production, transport, use, and end-of-life, depending on the selected calculation scope and methodology.

You can invite suppliers to Mattermaps so they can share Product Carbon Footprint data with you directly. This allows you to collect more accurate supplier-specific emissions data instead of relying only on averages or secondary data.

ESTAINIUM is an association and network focused on enabling trustworthy Product Carbon Footprint data exchange across value chains. Mattermaps was designed to support the exchange of PCF data in line with ESTAINIUM-compatible principles.

Emission management is becoming increasingly important as companies need to understand, report, and reduce emissions across their operations and supply chains. Product-level emissions data helps companies identify hotspots, make informed decisions, and work with suppliers on decarbonization.

A Corporate Carbon Footprint, or CCF, measures the emissions of an entire organization. A Product Carbon Footprint, or PCF, measures the emissions linked to a specific product. In short: CCF looks at the company level, while PCF looks at the product level.

Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by a company. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity or heat. Scope 3 emissions are other indirect emissions across the value chain, including purchased materials, transport, product use, and end-of-life.

A carbon source releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. A carbon sink removes or stores carbon from the atmosphere, such as forests or certain natural systems. A carbon offset is a mechanism used to compensate for emissions by supporting projects that reduce, avoid, or remove emissions elsewhere.

Product Carbon Footprints can be certified by an accredited certification or verification body. In Mattermaps, certification helps increase trust in the PCF data shared with customers or partners.

PCF data should be certified by an accredited certification or verification body. There is no single global database for all ISO 14067-accredited verifiers, so companies may need to search through national accreditation bodies or existing certification partners.

Mattermaps does not automatically calculate PCFs for users because accurate PCF calculation requires product, process, and emissions expertise. However, users may use secondary data as a benchmark or temporary estimate while working toward collecting supplier-specific data.

SiemensID is the single sign-on identity management system used to access Siemens applications, including Mattermaps. It allows users to log in securely and may support federated identity access for selected external organizations.
