About this service

Our Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) offer clear insight into the environmental impact of your product - from production and processing to consumption and end-of-life. This globally recognised method provides a structured approach to measuring sustainability. 

Standardised approach in 6 steps

We apply a standardised six-step method to quantify environmental impact, identify hotspots, and uncover opportunities for improvement. Whether you require a quick scan or a detailed analysis, our iterative process ensures consistent results.

Step 1: Define the scope

Work with our experts and industry partners to outline the value chain, focusing on key regions and indicators.

Step 2: Gather data

Collect data from your organisation and suppliers. We combine this primary data with secondary sources such as literature and databases.

Step 3: Develop the model

Build an LCA model and calculate the environmental impact.

Step 4: Analyse hotspots

Identify key impact indicators, sensitive input parameters, and areas for improvement.

Step 5: Assess improvement potential

Evaluate the potential for improvement by adjusting input parameters.

Step 6: Present results

Share and validate findings with stakeholders and industry partners.

Are you aiming to set the standard in your sector? We also develop LCA-standards together with relevant partners.
