Of course, thanks for your thoughtful question!
The short answer is that nobody knows for sure ... yet. Regulatory bodies, NGOs, and ESG-focused activist and impact investors are actively developing frameworks and methodologies for total life cycle GHG accounting. [1] and [2] are a couple of examples in the US from around the time the Paris Climate Agreement was signed.

We keep a close eye on this and continuously evaluate the latest developments in the context of product development ideation.
