ESG & sustainability
Life-cycle evidencethat withstands scrutiny.
A life cycle assessment quantifies the full environmental impact of a product or process, from raw material to end of life. We deliver LCAs to ISO 14040/44 that underpin product footprints, EPDs, eco-design and environmental claims.
01The work
ISO-compliant, cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave.
ISO-compliant assessment across carbon and, where needed, wider impact categories, producing a defensible evidence base rather than a headline number.
A compliant LCA is also the technical foundation of a verified EPD, so the work is usually worth scoping with the declaration in mind from the start.
02Beyond carbon
Carbon is one impact category among several.
An LCA produces a defensible evidence base rather than a headline number. Where a claim rests on more than climate, the wider categories are what make it stand.
-
01
Goal & scope
The question, the boundary and the functional unit, fixed before any data is gathered.
-
02
Inventory
Inputs and outputs across every stage in scope.
-
03
Impact assessment
Carbon and, where needed, water, acidification, eutrophication and more.

04
Interpretation
What the result supports, and what it does not.
The four phases of an ISO 14040/44 assessment. The fourth is the one weak studies skip.
03Why it matters
A defensible evidence base, not a headline number.
The difference shows the moment someone asks how the functional unit was defined.
05Questions
Answered plainly.
A PCF isolates carbon; an LCA assesses multiple impacts. A PCF is often derived from an LCA.
Yes. A compliant LCA is the technical foundation of a verified EPD.
ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 govern life cycle assessment. EN 15804 and ISO 14025 govern the declaration built on it.
