Life Cycle Assessment Services
Carrying out Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) can help your organisation to demonstrate a deeper commitment to improving your environmental performance.
Why Perform an LCA?
Kickstart your sustainability strategy by establishing a baseline understanding of your product or service’s environmental impacts
Make targeted improvements and optimise processes to conserve resources and reduce costs
Manage supply-chain risk by embedding sustainability intelligence into everyday decision-making
Strengthen customer loyalty by demonstrating a proactive approach to environmental challenges and making verifiable environmental claims
Our LCA Services
Whatever your motivation, our experts are at hand to support you with your LCA needs.
-
Understand the environmental impact of an individual product or service; assessing the contribution of ingredients, materials and processes, in addition to the cumulative environmental load.
-
Compare the environmental ‘preferability’ of two or more products or services with the same function.
-
Identify the preferable product development options by comparing the impact of potential decisions, including: choice of raw materials, suppliers, sourcing locations, processing methods, and energy sources.
-
Gain insight into the potential environmental impacts of products at low cost through the use of secondary data and a simplified analysis focused on a particular life cycle stage (e.g., manufacturing) or environmental concern (e.g., carbon footprint assessment). Carbon footprint assessments are popular as they are useful to support net zero and carbon neutrality claims.
-
Go beyond environmental impacts and consider the social impacts of product supply chains to ensure alignment with corporate social responsibility goals
-
Conduct LCA studies that are aligned with the European Commission’s recommended Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology and related product category rules.
-
Conduct a review of any previously commissioned LCA study to ensure that the quality of the LCA meets internationally approved standards and withstands scrutiny. Our LCA practitioners can perform reviews either as an independent expert or as part of a wider review panel.
Our Approach
-
Hold an initial kick-off meeting to determine project goals and scoping elements to ensure alignment with your needs.
-
Model the environmental impacts using specialised software, analyse and interpret the results of the LCA, and provide tailored recommendations.
-
Work together to collect the required data using our bespoke data management tool (DMT) and guidance from our experts
