2021年12月30日，据欧盟官方公报消息，欧盟委员会发布 （EU） 2021/2279条例，关于介绍如何使用“环境足迹”方法来衡量及传达产品及机构在生命周期内的环保绩效的建议。
欧盟委员会建议(eu) 2021/2279
2021年12月15日
介绍如何使用“环境足迹”方法来衡量及传达产品及机构在生命周期内的环保表现
欧盟委员会(EUROPEAN COMMISSION),
考虑到《欧洲联盟运作条约》，特别是其中第191和292条，而:
(1）关于产品和组织的环境绩效的可靠和正确的测量和信息是广泛的行动者环境决策的一个基本要素。
（2）“产品环境足迹”和“组织环境足迹”方法(以下简称“环境足迹方法”)使企业能够衡量和传达其环境绩效，从而基于可靠的环境信息在市场上竞争。它们包含关于如何建模和计算产品和组织的环境影响的详细说明。“环境足迹”方法建立在现有的、国际公认的惯例、指标和规则的基础上。
（3）2013年，欧盟委员会通过了委员会建议2013/179/EU(1)，以促进使用共同方法来衡量和沟通产品和组织的生命周期环境绩效。它建议会员国、公司、私人组织和金融界使用这些方法，并载有确定拟议方法的两个附件。
（4）委员会为进一步发展“环境足迹”方法建立了一个框架，并通过试点阶段邀请了广泛的利益攸关方，包括工业界，特别是中小企业的参与。
（5）在试点阶段从2013年到2018年,发展的特定于产品的规则(产品环境影响类别的规则,PEFCRs)和行业规则(组织环境足迹行业规则,OEFSRs)与利益相关者的积极参与测试,导致19 PEFCRs和2 OEFSRs的定稿。
(6）环境足迹方法也在几个技术方面进行了更新，如:(1)重要性原则的应用(“在它重要的地方采取行动”);(2)定义一个基准，对应于市场平均产量的环境足迹概况，也称为代表性产品/组织;(3)关于气候变化、电力、运输、基础设施和设备、包装、报废和农业等关键方面建模的协议;(4)纳入标准化和加权;(5)如何将生物多样性作为附加环境信息纳入的指导方针;(6)改进一些影响评估方法，特别重视与毒性相关的方法(人体毒性-癌症效应);人体毒性-非癌症影响;生态毒性淡水、用水、土地利用、资源和颗粒物);(7)基于REACH数据确定特征因子;(8)和符合环境足迹的数据集指南。
(7)试点阶段的结果提出了在2019年委员会工作人员工作文档的可持续循环经济产品——产品对欧盟政策框架对循环经济的贡献(2),同样的员工工作文档还表示可能的使用环境足迹的方法在欧盟政策发展的水平。自2019年以来，根据向工业界发出的关注呼吁，欧盟委员会继续制定新的产品环境足迹类别规则。
（8）2019年10月理事会结论(3)欢迎欧盟环境足迹方法的试点，以及在环境足迹试点基础上支持环境影响沟通的所有举措。
（9)欧洲绿色协议(4)旨在动员行业为清洁和循环经济，并强调，为了使买家做出更可持续的决定，并减少“绿色清洗”的风险，需要可靠、可比和可验证的信息。
（10）在其“一个新的循环经济行动计划-为了一个更清洁和更有竞争力的欧洲”(5)中，委员会强调公司应该使用产品和组织的环境足迹方法来证实他们的环境声明，并致力于测试这些方法在欧盟生态标签中的整合。
（11）关于“新的消费者议程-加强消费者的韧性以实现可持续复苏”的沟通(6)表明，为了刺激更多的企业自愿行动，委员会计划与经济经营者合作，鼓励他们自愿承诺向消费者披露公司的环境足迹，提高其可持续性，减少对环境的影响。
（12）2020年12月的理事会结论指出，产品环境足迹方法有可能成为欧盟各种产品政策工具和可持续产品框架的基础方法，同时考虑到其他合适的方法。
（13）环境足迹方法的使用已经在欧盟政策和立法的背景下预见到，如分类法规(7)，可持续电池倡议(8)和绿色消费承诺(9)。
(14）根据这些发展，委员会第2013/179/EU号建议应予以更新，以整合试点阶段的技术发展，特别是类别和部门规则的制定，从而为进一步的政策制定和实施提供良好的基础。它应促进公司根据可靠、可核查和可比较的资料计算其环境业绩，并使其他行动者(例如公共行政部门、非政府组织、商业伙伴)能够获得这些资料。它还应加强欧盟环境足迹数据库的开发。
(15）中小型企业可能缺乏专门知识和资源来满足对生命周期环境业绩资料的要求。因此，对中小企业的支助不仅应由委员会提供，而且应由会员国和工业协会提供。
（16）随着新的国际商定方法的出现，环境足迹方法有望得到更新，以纳入新的指标或建模规则。委员会的环境足迹技术咨询委员会专家组对这些问题进行了讨论。例如，目前正在考虑与生物多样性有关的影响。
(17）正如在新的循环经济行动计划中宣布的那样，欧盟委员会将探索建立一个基于稳健和透明的碳核算的碳排放认证监管框架，以监测和核实碳排放的真实性。本框架将以相互协同和与环境足迹方法一致的方式制定，并在必要时反映在本建议的未来更新中。
（18)虽然这项建议侧重于环境影响，但在全球范围内，与经济和社会影响有关的关切，包括劳工做法，发挥着越来越重要的作用。欧盟委员会将继续密切关注这些发展，以及分析欧盟消费的产品对第三国供应链沿线产生影响的环境、社会和经济供应链影响的方法。
(19）本建议应取代委员会2013/179/EU建议，

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (EU) 2021/2279
of 15 December 2021
on the use of the Environmental Footprint methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 191 and 292 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) | Reliable and correct measurement and information on the environmental performance of products and organisations is an essential element in the environmental decision-making of a wide range of actors. |
(2) | The Product Environmental Footprint and Organisation Environmental Footprint methods (hereafter ‘Environmental Footprint methods’) enable companies to measure and communicate their environmental performance and thereby compete on the market based on reliable environmental information. They contain detailed instructions on how to model and calculate the environmental impacts of products and organisations. The Environmental Footprint methods build on existing, internationally accepted practices, indicators and rules. |
(3) | In 2013, the Commission adopted Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU (1) to promote the use of common methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations. It recommends their use to Member States, companies, private organisations and the financial community, and contains two annexes establishing the proposed methods. |
(4) | The Commission established a framework for developing further the Environmental Footprint methods with the participation of a wide range of stakeholders, including industry, and particularly SMEs, through a pilot phase. |
(5) | In the pilot phase running from 2013 to 2018, the development of product-specific rules (Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules, PEFCRs) and sector-specific rules (Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules, OEFSRs) was tested with the active participation of stakeholders, resulting in the finalisation of 19 PEFCRs and 2 OEFSRs. |
(6) | The Environmental Footprint methods were also updated on several technical aspects, such as: (1) application of the materiality principle (‘act where it matters’); (2) the definition of a benchmark corresponding to the Environmental Footprint profile of the average production the market, also called representative product / organisation; (3) agreements on the modelling of key aspects concerning climate change, electricity, transport, infrastructure & equipment, packaging, end-of-life and agriculture; (4) inclusion of normalisation and weighting; (5) guidelines on how to include biodiversity as additional environmental information; (6) improvement of some impact assessment methods, with particular attention to the toxicity-related methods (human toxicity – cancer effects; human toxicity – non-cancer effects; eco-toxicity freshwater, water use, land use, resources and particulate matter); (7) defining characterisation factors based on REACH data; (8) and a guide on Environmental Footprint compliant datasets. |
(7) | The results of the pilot phase were presented in the 2019 Commission Staff Working Document on ‘Sustainable Products in a Circular Economy – Towards an EU Product Policy Framework contribution to the Circular Economy’ (2). The same staff working document also indicated possible uses of the Environmental Footprint methods in policy development at EU level. Since 2019, and following a call of interest addressed to industry, the Commission continued the development of new Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules. |
(8) | The Council Conclusions of October 2019 (3) welcomed the piloting of the EU Environmental Footprint methodology and all initiatives to support the communication of environmental impacts based on the Environmental Footprint pilot. |
(9) | The European Green Deal (4) aims to mobilise industries for a clean and circular economy and underlines that to enable buyers to make more sustainable decisions and reduce the risk of ‘green washing’, reliable, comparable and verifiable information is needed. |
(10) | In its Communication ‘A new Circular Economy Action Plan – For a cleaner and more competitive Europe’ (5), the Commission highlighted that companies should substantiate their environmental claims using Product and Organisation Environmental Footprint methods and committed to test the integration of these methods in the EU Ecolabel. |
(11) | The Communication on a ‘New Consumer Agenda – Strengthening consumer resilience for sustainable recovery’ (6) indicates that to stimulate more voluntary corporate action, the Commission plans to work with economic operators to encourage their voluntary pledges to disclose to consumers the company’s environmental footprint, improve their sustainability and reduce the impact on the environment. |
(12) | The Council Conclusions of December 2020 noted that the Product Environmental Footprint method has the potential of being one underlying methodology for various product policy tools in the EU and the framework for sustainable products, taking also other suitable methodologies into account. |
(13) | The use of the Environmental Footprint methods is already foreseen in the context of EU policies and legislation such as the Taxonomy Regulation (7), the Sustainable Batteries Initiative (8) and the Green Consumption Pledge (9). |
(14) | In the light of these developments, Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU should be updated to integrate the technical developments of the pilot phase, in particular the development of category and sector rules, and therefore provide a sound basis for further policy development and implementation. It should facilitate companies to calculate their environmental performance based on reliable, verifiable and comparable information, and for other actors (public administrations, NGOs, business partners, for example) to have access to such information. It should also enhance the development of an EU Environmental Footprint database. |
(15) | SMEs might lack the expertise and resources to address the requests for life cycle environmental performance information. Therefore, support to SMEs should be provided not only by the Commission, but also by Member States and industrial associations. |
(16) | As new, internationally agreed approaches emerge, the Environmental Footprint methods are expected to be updated to integrate new indicators or modelling rules. These aspects are discussed in the Commission expert group on the Environmental Footprint Technical Advisory Board. Impacts related to biodiversity are for instance currently being considered. |
(17) | As announced in the new Circular Economy Action Plan, the Commission will explore the development of a regulatory framework for certification of carbon removals based on robust and transparent carbon accounting to monitor and verify the authenticity of carbon removals. This framework will be developed in mutual synergy and consistency with the environmental footprint method and when necessary be reflected in future updates of this Recommendation. |
(18) | While this recommendation focuses on environmental impacts, in the global context concerns related to economic and social impacts, including of labour practices, play an increasingly important role. The Commission will continue to closely follow these developments as well as methods of analysing environmental, social and economic supply chain impacts of products consumed in the EU that have effects along the supply chain in third countries. |
(19) | This Recommendation should replace the Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1. | This Recommendation promotes the use of the Environmental Footprint methods in relevant policies and schemes related to the measurement and/or communication of the life cycle environmental performance of all kinds of products, including both goods and services, and of organisations. |
1.2. | This Recommendation is addressed to Member States and to private and public organisations that measure or intend to measure the life cycle environmental performance of their product or of their organisation, and/or communicate or intend to communicate life cycle environmental performance information to any private, public and civil society stakeholder in the EU. |
1.3. | This Recommendation does not apply to the implementation of EU mandatory legislation that foresees a specific methodology for the calculation of the life cycle environmental performance of products or organisations. This Recommendation may however be referred to by EU legislation or policy as a method for the calculation of the life cycle environmental performance of products or organisations. |
2. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Recommendation, the following definitions apply:
(a) | Product Environmental Footprint (hereinafter ‘PEF’) method: general method to measure and communicate the potential life cycle environmental impact of a product as laid down in Annex I. |
(b) | Organisation Environmental Footprint (hereinafter ‘OEF’) method: general method to measure and communicate the potential life cycle environmental impact of an organisation as laid down in Annex III. |
(c) | Product Environmental Footprint: result of a Product Environmental Footprint study based on the Product Environmental Footprint method. |
(d) | Organisation Environmental Footprint: result of an Organisation Environmental Footprint study based on the Organisation Environmental Footprint method. |
(e) | Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (hereinafter ‘PEFCRs’): Product category specific, life cycle based rules that complement general methodological guidance for PEF studies by providing further specification at the level of a specific product category. If a PEFCR exists, this should be used for calculating the environmental footprint of a product belonging to that product category. |
(f) | Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules (hereinafter ‘OEFSRs’): Sector-specific, life-cycle-based rules that complement general methodological guidance for OEF studies by providing further specification at the level of a specific sector. If an OEFSR exists, this should be used for calculating the environmental footprint of an organisation belonging to the sector. |
(g) | Life cycle environmental performance: quantified measurement of the potential environmental impacts taking all relevant life cycle stages of a product or organisation into account, from a supply chain perspective. |
(h) | Communication of life cycle environmental performance: any disclosure of life cycle environmental performance information, including to business partners, investors, public bodies or consumers. |
(i) | Organisation: a company, corporation, firm, enterprise, authority or institution, or part or combination thereof, whether incorporated or not, public or private, that has its own functions and administrations. |
(j) | Scheme: for-profit or not-for-profit initiative taken by private companies or an association thereof, by a public-private partnership, by governmental or by non-governmental organisations that requires the measurement or communication of life cycle environmental performance. |
(k) | Industrial association: organisation representing private companies that are members of the organisation or private companies belonging to a sector at local, regional national or international level. |
(l) | Financial community: all actors providing financial services (including financial advice), including banks, investors and insurance companies. |
