Product Environmental Footprint (GEN - 1347.00)

GEN - 1347.00. On 16 December 2021 the Commission issued a recommendation on the use of the Environmental Footprint methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations.
 
Background
The development of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF) sector was initiated by DG environment in the early 2010s. It resulted in Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU. The pilot phase running from 2013 to 2018 developed 19 PEFCRs (Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules) and 2 OEFSR (Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules, OEFSRs).
