On October 30, 2026, Sinopec and BASF jointly released the results of a practical verification of product carbon footprint accounting at the 17th China International Petrochemical Conference. The release follows the companies' earlier agreement to mutually recognize their accounting methodologies.

The results mark a step from agreement on methodology to practical verification. The initiative is intended to support standardized product carbon footprint accounting in the global chemical industry and help manage emissions across supply chains.
For companies exchanging product footprint information, the practical significance is whether accounting approaches can be applied consistently. Further details on the verification and its application will be important in assessing how the work might support broader adoption.
