The Partnership for Carbon Transparency or PACT (previously Pathfinder) Network is a concept developed by PACT and powered by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). PACT is working toward the vision of an open and global network of interoperable solutions for the secure peer-to-peer exchange of accurate, primary and verified product emissions data – across all industries and value chains. The PACT network (previously Pathfinder Network) is of and for companies to securely exchange environmental data with each other, with an initial focus on PCF data.

Mattermaps aligns with the global standard for Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculation and data exchange across the value chain, established by PACT.

Being PACT conformant signifies that Mattermaps adheres to the technical specifications set by PACT, enabling accurate, verified, and secure calculation and exchange of product-level emissions data. This capability is crucial for businesses that want to share carbon footprint data with partners, suppliers, and customers, ensuring transparency and alignment with climate commitments.
