Carbon calculator for transparency
and better decision-making

With its ambition to be a trusted sustainability leader in its industry, Duni Group identified a KAIRIT KUUSIK,
need to better understand the carbon emissions from its operations. Taking a point of depar- climate specialist at Duni Group
ture in the company’s commitment to Science-Based Targets, the project grew from measur-
ing internal Scope 3 emissions to understanding the carbon footprint of individual products.

“This initiative arose from an increased demand for carbon footprint transparency and
a drive to keep making our products better,” explains Kairit Kuusik, climate expert at Duni
Group. “By setting up the carbon calculator, everyone at Duni Group, from product design-
ers to colleagues in sales, have access to an internal tool that provides better information
to support the continuous mitigation of the environmental impact of our product portfolio.”

The development of the carbon calculator commenced in 2023 and involved close
collaboration with colleagues and third-party experts to ensure methodology and calcu-
lations. As the calculator is only as good as the data input, Duni Group incorporated an
extensive amount of data points covering emissions from materials, transportation, and
more. The calculator takes a ‘cradle-to-grave’ approach to ensure the most comprehensive
view of all emissions related to a product.

“The carbon calculator is incredibly valuable to us,” says Kairit Kuusik. “It provides Duni
Group with a better understanding of our product emissions, enabling better decisions
when it comes to design and materials. For customers, it provides transparent emissions
data, empowering them to make informed choices to reduce their impact on climate.”

The calculation methodology received certification by the organization Carbon Trust in
December 2024.
