Sumitomo Chemical's Product Carbon Footprint Calculation Tool CFP-TOMO^® Shifts to Click-On Agreement

Nov. 1, 2024

Sumitomo Chemical has released version 3.1 of its product carbon footprint calculation tool, CFP-TOMO^®, that allows companies to easily and efficiently calculate the carbon footprint of their products. This tool is provided free of charge. In this latest version, CFP-TOMO^® has shifted to a click-on agreement.

A click-on agreement, also known as a clickwrap or click-through agreement, is a type of contract in which users indicate their agreement to the terms of the contract by clicking an “agree” button or following a similar process. Now that this type of contract has been adopted, it has become easier to start using CFP-TOMO^®.

1. Shifting to a Click-On Agreement
Previously, a new user needed to sign a license agreement with Sumitomo Chemical to use CFP-TOMO^®. However, for version 3.1 of the tool, this will no longer be necessary. A new user is requested to carefully review and understand the contract terms before starting to use the tool.

2. For Existing Contract Holders
Currently, over 110 companies, mainly in the chemical industry, have entered into the contract to use CFP-TOMO^®. Sumitomo Chemical will contact existing contract holders individually to request that they update CFP-TOMO^® to version 3.1. Even if contract holders do not update their contract, they will still be able to continue to use version 3.0.

Sumitomo Chemical will continue to advance collaborations with suppliers, business partners and other stakeholders to achieve carbon neutrality across society as a whole.
