Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
We quantify the environmental impact of your business, deliver ISO-compliant LCA reports, and help you take the best actions to minimize your footprint.
We empower your decision-making by providing data on the lifetime impacts of your products, processes, and services.
Going beyond the carbon impact, our LCA assesses the full range of environmental impacts (water, land, resources, toxicity) to prevent unintended negative consequences in other areas.
We follow EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) guidelines to deliver the environmental data you need for accessing this market.
