Following text is the original text from the GHG Protocol Newsletter received on October 11th 2011. Text in [] is added by me:
On Tuesday, October 4th [2011] the GHG Protocol launched the new Product Life Cycle and Corporate Value Chain Standards with events in New York City and London. Additional launch events will follow in the coming months in locations including Beijing on November 18, Tokyo on November 21 and an event in December at COP17 in Durban, South Africa.

The standards were developed through a three year global multi-stakeholders process that included more than 2,300 participants and were road-tested by 60 companies in 17 countries. The Corporate Value Chain Standard is the first standard companies can use to assess their full scope 3 emissions up and down the value chain and identify the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions. The Product Life Cycle Standard enables companies to measure the greenhouse gas emissions of an individual product all the way from raw materials through use and disposal, and identify opportunities to increase efficiencies, improve product design, remove risks, and achieve emissions reductions.

Please find below links to the standards, tools for calculating scope 3 and product inventories, and other new materials from the launch events.
