LCA (life cycle assessment)
Gain an overview of your products’ climate and environmental impact with an LCA. We assist with calculations, interpretation, and documentation.

An LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is a method for assessing the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle – from raw materials to disposal. There are many types of LCAs, varying in scope and level of detail. Together, we’ll determine which approach best suits your needs.
An LCA can take several forms depending on purpose and product type. We carry out the LCA modelling using our in-house tools based on Ecoinvent and industry-specific databases. Regardless of the standard applied, the process typically looks like this:
A life cycle assessment is not one-size-fits-all. Its scope and level of detail depend on your needs and how you plan to use the results.
We can carry out climate and environmental impact assessments and offer advice on everything from screenings and PCF analyses to full ISO-, LCA-, and PEF-compliant studies – and everything in between.
We’ll work with you to find the approach that fits best.
We also work on integrating LCA thinking and automatically generated CO₂ footprints into companies’ existing ERP systems. Our solutions make it easy to update emission factors and add supplier-specific data on raw materials, ensuring calculations always reflect reality.
With integration into your ERP system, CO₂ data can be printed directly on your customer invoices.
This gives you and your customers access to accurate and transparent scope 3 data that can be used directly in climate accounts and as documentation of environmental action.
It also makes it easier to identify products and areas with the greatest reduction potential – and quickly update your calculations when production or energy use changes.
We define the scope, set the appropriate system boundaries, and review which data you need to collect.
We guide you through the data collection process and help find solutions where data is missing.
All activities in the product’s life cycle are mapped and linked to activity data.
We link activity data to emission factors and calculate results for all environmental impact categories.
We compile the results in a report describing all modelling, analysis, and interpretation choices.
We deliver the report and one-pagers and review the results with a focus on environmental hotspots and reduction opportunities.
