LCA (life cycle assessment)

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.

• Optimise your product or service to reduce environmental impact, including CO₂ emissions in scope 3
• Make more sustainable decisions by choosing solutions with the lowest environmental footprint
• Map resource consumption and document the “cost” of a product across environmental parameters, including climate impact
• Ensure credible communication and avoid greenwashing
• Compare products or production methods to identify the most sustainable option.
   

• LCA
  The most comprehensive method, analysing a product’s or service’s impact across the full life cycle.
• LCA Screening
  A simplified version, often based on broader assumptions and with lighter reporting requirements.
• PEF (Product Environmental Footprint)
  An EU-standardised LCA method that ensures comparability across products and industries.
• PCF (Product Carbon Footprint)
  An LCA-based method that focuses exclusively on calculating a product’s CO₂ footprint.
• EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
  Also known as an environmental product declaration. An EU-standardised LCA method for construction products.

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

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:

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.
