Life Cycle Assessment
A powerful sustainability tool that evaluates the environmental impacts of a product or service across its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to the end of life
LCA
Life cycle sustainability assessments focus on evaluating the environmental, economic, and social impacts of a product/system throughout its lifetime. This covers all life cycle stages: raw material extraction, transport, manufacturing, use phase, and end-of-life phase of a product/system.
The main methodologies we use are:
LCA - Life Cycle Assessment, evaluating various environmental impacts of a product throughout its lifetime. The methodology follows the standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044
LCC - Life Cycle Costing, evaluating the economics a product throughout its entire lifetime
SLCA - Social Life Cycle Assessment, evaluating social impacts (poverty, child labor...) of a product throughout its value chain. The methodology is in line with UNEP guidelines
LCSA - Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment, combining LCA, LCC, and SLCA for a comprehensive sustainability assessment
