242Quantifying and analyzing the carbon footprint of products has always been a pain point in corporate carbon management. In 2021, Carbonstop launched China's first integrated carbon management SaaS platform — Carbon Cloud Ccloud. Leveraging a database of over 150,000 carbon emission factors, it provides users with solutions for carbon footprint quantification, analysis, reduction, and neutralization.
Furen Group has partnered with Carbonstop to become a user of the [Carbon Cloud Ccloud] platform.
Founded in 1979 as the Fuzhou Plywood Factory, Furen Group is a large state-owned enterprise jointly established by the former State Forestry Administration and the Fujian Provincial Government during the early stages of China's reform and opening-up. It specializes in research, production, sales, and industrial raw material forest cultivation for plywood and its deep-processed products. Furen Group is a key national forestry enterprise, a national forestry standardization demonstration enterprise, and a pilot enterprise for national forest certification.
What is the carbon footprint of producing plywood from wood processing residues? Compared to processing logs directly, how much potential is there for emission reduction? These are questions that Furen Group, starting from its own business, is very eager to solve.
Although there are no specific accounting standards or policy requirements for the plywood industry in China, as a state-owned enterprise, Furen Group hopes to actively assume social responsibility, take the lead, and proactively calculate its product carbon footprint and emission reduction volume. By saving energy and reducing emissions in multiple aspects, it aims to contribute to the realization of the country's dual carbon targets.
Therefore, Furen Group chose Carbonstop's [Carbon Cloud Ccloud] to help them tackle the challenges of quantifying and analyzing the carbon footprint of their products.
During the usage process, Furen Group raised targeted questions, such as how to select appropriate carbon emission factors, how to intuitively represent the proportion of materials and energy consumption, and how to trace upstream. The Carbonstop team provided rapid and professional responses and feedback.
For companies, conducting product carbon footprint calculations now is not just about responding to national policy requirements; it is also about capturing future markets. When peers are still observing, if a company has already actively transitioned to green and sustainable production, it not only aligns with future industry trends but also establishes a green and low-carbon corporate brand image, making products more appealing to consumers.
In the future, Carbonstop will continue to uphold the mission of "making every product have a carbon footprint" and provide efficient, professional, and convenient services to partner enterprises through [Carbon Cloud Ccloud], supporting their green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading.
