Consumer Information about PCF Single number CO2 labels make no sense A static PCF stand-alone label providing a total CO2 footprint on products does not make sense and is not very relevant for consumer decision making. Although consumers are increasingly aware of the relevance of climate impacts resulting from their purchasing behaviour and usage of products, the display of a total CO2e footprint figure alone would not be of much help to them. It has to be stressed that a figure of this kind suggests a precision and conclusiveness which cannot be achieved using the current state of methodology. At the current state with only few products being labelled this even bears the risk that the sheer display of such a label makes consumers believe that the product might be better then another without label. Climate change might be addressed by other means then PCF It is not always necessary to use PCF to address climate change issues. As CO2e emissions are at the moment often highly correlated to the demand of electric and thermal energy and fuel consumption (e.g. in cars) climate change issues can be more easily addressed by energy efficiency parameters. The latter is also cheaper and more reliable as it addresses a key parameter that can be directly measured and restricted e.g. by legislation. In other cases, like food for example, PCF is a good base for the development of general recommendation for consumers taking into account climate change issues (e.g. “eat regional and seasonal food”, “eat less meat” etc.) but needs not be communicated as PCF. Overall it can be concluded that in some cases there is no added value to the use of PCF and in other cases PCF should only serve as base for general recommendations. 66
