The HortiFootprint Calculator provides a comprehensive life cycle analysis of a crop and utilizes data from MPS-ABC. This saves you time and increases the accuracy of your data input. Additionally, the tool is fully FloriPEFCR compliant, ensuring reliable results that meet European sustainability standards. 

The combination of MPS-ABC and the HortiFootprint Calculator offers a thorough sustainability assessment: MPS-ABC provides insights at company level that have been verified and audited, while the HortiFootprint Calculator analyses the impact at product level. By working together, data is validated and more reliable results are delivered, which aids in reducing the environmental footprint. 

No, the use and outcome of the HortiFootprint Calculator do not impact your MPS-ABC certification. The HortiFootprint Calculator is not a certification tool but provides you with detailed insights that can help you perform better in MPS-ABC certification. This can be achieved, for example, by optimizing processes and improving your sustainability performance. 

The results of the HortiFootprint Calculator give you detailed insights into where your production methods can be improved to reduce your environmental footprint. This not only helps with internal optimization but also helps you meet sustainability standards in the market. 

The HortiFootprint Calculator identifies the “hotspots” in your production process that contribute most significantly to your environmental impact. On your dashboard, you can see the results per impact category and life stage. This enables you to take targeted action, such as improving energy efficiency or replacing high-impact materials such as substrates. 

The HortiFootprint Calculator follows a cradle-to-grave approach, meaning that all stages of the product life cycle are included in the calculations. This encompasses raw materials, energy use, production phases, transport, and end-of-life processing.
