Watershed Guide
The Healthcare Product Carbon Footprint Playbook: How and why healthcare organisations are scaling PCFs
Globally, healthcare is responsible for about 4.4% of total greenhouse gas emissions; if it were a country, it would be the fifth-largest emitter on the planet. At the same time, pressures across health-related supply chains have moved the sector towards more concrete action, with more healthcare organisations setting ambitious climate targets (e.g., 90% of the largest pharmaceutical companies have climate targets).
In tandem, healthcare organisations are focusing more and more on building product-level carbon footprints to drive decarbonisation, and to prepare for customer and regulator requirements like the UK NHS’s upcoming product-level emissions requirement for suppliers.
In this eBook, learn…
- Where healthcare emissions typically come from

- How PCFs help companies get credit for actions, understand hotspots, win tenders, and deliver PCFs to customers
- What the NHS’s roadmap and timeline is on requirements
- How Watershed solves pain points with traditional PCF / LCA approaches
