ESG Glossary
Definition
A list of every material and part needed to make one product, with the amount of each. Manufacturers already use BOMs for production and purchasing. For a product carbon footprint, the BOM works as the product’s recipe: each material is matched with an emission factor, and the results are added up to find the footprint of the materials.
In Context
“When our R&D team swapped one additive in the BOM, we checked the new footprint before the first batch was made.”
