Expertise
Turn your team into eco-design experts
- Read clear, actionable insights instead of decoding complex graphs.
- Build a shared LCA framework on a transparent formula builder and factor database.
- Simulate lower-carbon material swaps to validate eco-design decisions.
Precision & impact
Maximise impact with reliable data
- Draw on recognised life-cycle databases and government datasets.
- Create tailored emission factors for precision in your product modelling.
- Strengthen Scope 3 with self-service modules that pull data from your suppliers.
Sustainability by design:
built into every product
When impact data sits alongside design decisions, eco-design stops being a separate project and becomes part of how products are made.

Why every company should embrace life cycle assessment
Deliver the product carbon footprints your customers expect
Stay competitive as customer requests for product-level data grow, and as reporting requirements reach further down the value chain.
Manage environmental liabilities and climate risk in your supply chain
Prepare early for product-level regulation while reducing cost through eco-design and better material choices.

What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
LCA is a method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product across its whole life cycle, from raw material extraction through manufacture, distribution, use, and end of life.
What are the four stages of an LCA?
Goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. Together they set the boundaries, gather the data, translate it into impacts, and draw conclusions.
What is an LCA framework?
A framework sets the rules for how an assessment is carried out, including boundaries, functional unit, data quality, and how results are reported. ISO 14040 and 14044 define the most widely used framework.
Who needs to perform an LCA?
Any company that wants to understand or disclose the environmental impact of its products, whether to answer customer requests, support eco-design, or prepare for product-level regulation.
Why do a Life Cycle Assessment?
It shows where a product's impact actually comes from, so you can reduce it at the source, back up lower-carbon claims, and meet growing customer and regulatory expectations.
