Credible climate data that powers Sephora Planet Aware, B Corp recertification, retailer sustainability programs, R&D decisions, and defensible marketing claims.

Most beauty brands build carbon data once for a single requirement, then rebuild it for the next. Planet FWD builds one credible data foundation that serves every use case below. From retailer credentials to R&D to marketing claims, defensible, verified footprint data.
Sephora Planet Aware recognizes brands that meet Sephora's sustainability standards across four pillars. Pillar 3 is the carbon measurement pillar where most beauty brands hit a wall. It requires Scope 1 and2 calculated for all brands, plus Scope 3 calculated and verified reduction targets for large brands. For most beauty brands, Scope 3 alone is 90%+ of the total footprint. Planet FWD builds the product carbon footprints and corporate inventory that form Pillar 3 of qualification. The same data feeds Pillar 4 (consumer disclosure), and any other retailer or certification program that asks for credible climate data.
Beyond Sephora, retailers run their own sustainability programs. Ulta Conscious Beauty asks brands for ingredient and packaging sustainability data. Walmart's Project Gigaton tracks supplier emissions reduction. Amazon's Climate Pledge Friendly recognizes products with verified third-party sustainability certifications. The same Planet FWD data foundation answers all of them without starting over for each retailer.
The most valuable time for carbon data is before a product exists. Comparison LCAs model the carbon difference between ingredient options, packaging formats, and sourcing choices, so your team sees the trade-offs while they're still decisions they can make.

Mintel reports that 65% of adults find it difficult to know if a brand is overstating how eco-friendly it is. That trust gap is the reason marketing claims need credible data behind them. Planet FWD delivers PCFs formatted for on-pack and online use, so marketing claims hold upto scrutiny.

Portfolio benchmarking identifies which SKUs carry the highest carbon impact, so your team can focus reduction efforts and storytelling where they matter most.
The reason a brand might pick a software platform over a traditional consultancy here is speed and reusability. The carbon Must-Haves are delivered in roughly eight weeks rather than six to nine months, anchored by an ingredient and materials database broad enough to handle the ingredients beauty brands work with in practice.
That same database is what makes activity-based Scope 3 measurable at the ingredient level.
Cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave. Multi-metric. Includes side-by-side comparison LCAs for R&D. ISO 14040 compliant.
Corporate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Reductions, supplier engagement, and regulatory reporting.
Done-for-you PCFs, formatted for on-pack and online use. Or unlimited self-serve access to generate PCFs directly within the platform.
