An LCA study will provide you with detailed insights into the supply chain of your product or service, and its overall environmental footprint. This makes LCA particularly good for documentation, decision-making and building Trust in your company.
Life Cycle Assessment is the gold standard for quantifying sustainability impacts. By taking a life cycle perspective and a holistic view, LCA lets us compare options at the system level and link impacts to the actual function of products and services. Used well, it helps us choose the most sustainable way to reach our goals.
But the value of LCA is not only to describe the past. It should guide better decisions about the future. Our studies need to support decision‑makers in reducing environmental impacts going forward.
To serve this purpose, our models must emphasize causality and understanding the links between choices and effects. Because real‑world relationships are complex and often unintuitive, our methods must be able to represent that complexity. Only then can we build a full picture before making choices that shape the future.
Too often, current LCAs fall short. Many focus on mapping past emissions and isolate product systems from their context through normative methodological choices. These retrospective studies can be informative, but they often fail to give decision‑makers the insight they need to anticipate the consequences of change. When used as guidance, such backward‑looking models risk answering the wrong questions: they describe the past instead of guiding the future.
All LCAs start with a Goal and scope definition: Clearly define the purpose of the study, the product system to be assessed, the functional unit (the reference unit for comparison), system boundaries, and the environmental impacts to be evaluated.
Whether you are exploring LCA for the first time or looking to deepen your existing practices, We guide you through every step and ensure that your LCA follows the standards and methods most appropriate for your needs, so you end up with the right data to make the most effective decisions.
An LCA is only valuable if it's used to drive real change. Once the study is complete, we help you translate the insights into concrete improvements to your system. Based on your product's unique profile, we deliver tailored advice that identifies the most effective ways to reduce your environmental impact.
We always aim to deliver reports that are directly applicable to decision-making. To ensure you fully understand what your LCA tells you, we offer support through on-site presentations, webinars, or 1-1 consultations. We guide you through all aspects of the system and are happy to help measure and document the tangible difference your actions make.
We deliver life cycle assessments that give you robust, transparent, and science-based insight into the full impact of your products.
A corporate footprint quantifies the sustainability performance of your company's operations and products, providing a 360-degree view of your impact on the planet and a benchmark for your reduction commitments.
Know the total greenhouse gas emissions of all your activities and what to do about them with a complete picture of your scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions — including hotspot analysis and mitigation proposals.
How and where does your value chain impact biodiversity and natural habitats? By combining land use data with our updated model on extinction risks for wildlife, we can pinpoint your impact on nature.
How does your value chain affect people and communities? We offer a streamlined way to manage the social impact of your company by applying life cycle thinking to social due diligence.
Have LCA expertise in-house? Let us strengthen the quality of your assessments with a peer review or seamless quality control integration, ensuring your methodology and data live up to the highest standard.
The reporting standards for sustainability assessment are constantly evolving and can be difficult to navigate. All our assessments follow the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards for life cycle assessment. If you require an LCA that also complies with a specific product category rule or country-specific guideline— such as EPD, PEF, ISO, GHG, or PCR—we deliver. However, we recommend conducting a consequential LCA to gain the full sustainability picture and avoid burden shifting.
