Case Study
A Fabless Company Wins More Business with Scalable, ISO-Compliant PCFs
Amid rising pressure from downstream customers and the growing influence of carbon disclosure in purchasing decisions, a Fabless semiconductor company needed a faster, more reliable way to generate standardized Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs). With complex RFP and RFQ requirements piling up, the company turned to TechInsights’ Packaging+ Carbon Module to accelerate emissions reporting and align with ISO standards—ultimately winning new business and reinforcing its position as a trusted, low-carbon supplier.
The Challenge
As customer expectations around sustainability continued to evolve, this Fabless vendor found itself facing increasingly complex demands during procurement cycles. More and more RFPs and RFQs included strict requirements for carbon emissions disclosures—including standardized PCFs and verified reduction strategies.
The company struggled with:
- Responding to customer requests for emissions data across hundreds of products
- Generating and certifying PCFs aligned with ISO 14067 standards
- Lacking a scalable internal process to keep up with rising frequency and complexity of requests
Without a compliant, efficient solution, the company risked losing ground to competitors that could offer verifiable emissions transparency.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the Fabless company deployed TechInsights’ Packaging+ Carbon Module, a powerful tool designed specifically to streamline PCF generation and emissions tracking across semiconductor products.
Key features of the Packaging+ Carbon Module included:
- Product-level emissions allocation across Scope 1, 2, and 3
- Instant access to a comprehensive database of 30,000+ IC products, enabling rapid emissions profiling
- The ability to generate ISO 14067-compliant PCF certificates, ready for downstream sharing and reporting
With this tool, the company could standardize its PCF methodology and respond to customers with confidence, speed, and accuracy.
The Results
The impact was immediate and measurable. With the Packaging+ Carbon Module in place, the Fabless vendor:
- Successfully delivered PCFs for over 250 products, securing a major contract win over competitors
- Consistently responded to monthly emissions data requests from key customers (including HPE) ahead of schedule
- Aligned all product-level PCFs with ISO 14067, backed by verifiable certificates from TechInsights
This transformation not only met the growing needs of customers—it helped the company differentiate itself in a carbon-conscious marketplace and secure its position as a preferred, sustainability-focused supplier.
