Sustainability Assessment

We prepare individual carbon footprints/life cycle assessments and evaluate social issues along the life cycle for products & services in order to keep an eye on impact and potential for improvement..

Life Cycle Assessments & Product Carbon Footprints – Creating Transparency and Uncovering Potential

Sustainability starts with a clear analysis of the status quo. We create customized COâ‚‚ balances and life cycle assessments (LCAs) to accurately identify the potential environmental impacts across the entire product and service life cycle.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) focuses specifically on the COâ‚‚eq emissions of a product or service. It examines climate-relevant emissions across the full value chain – from production to end-of-life. This approach highlights where the majority of emissions occur and identifies the area’s most suitable for targeted improvements.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

An LCA evaluates the full environmental impact of a product or process – from raw material extraction and production to disposal. It includes not only the carbon footprint, but also other environmental aspects such as water scarcity potential or biodiversity impacts.

We prepare LCAs in line with international standards (Product Environmental Footprint – PEF; ISO 14067; ISO 14040/44; EN15804, etc.) and identify environmental hotspots along the entire value chain. This enables scientifically sound analysis of how to most effectively reduce environmental burdens and use resources more efficiently.

Biodiversity Assessment

Biodiversity assessment helps companies systematically record and evaluate the impact of their activities on biological diversity.
We offer tailored analyses that help you identify ecological risks and minimize your environmental impact.

​

By identifying species, habitats, and ecosystems affected by your operations, we can develop concrete recommendations for sustainable actions.

​

Moreover, a proactive biodiversity strategy supports your long-term competitiveness and strengthens your position as a responsible company in the market.

Solutions for Sustainability Goals

In addition to creating LCAs and COâ‚‚ balances, we also support the development of custom environmental assessment tools tailored to your needs – with a strong focus on digitalization and efficient data management.

Our digital solutions help you systematically collect and analyse environmental data, enabling you to independently assess environmental impacts and make informed decisions across your value chain.

A Sustainability Assessment Helps You Benefit From:

 

Detailed Analysis: Evaluate the environmental impacts of your products and processes throughout the entire life cycle.

 

Targeted Reductions: Identify environmental hotspots and focus on the most effective optimization opportunities to sustainably improve the biggest impact factors.

 

Competitive Advantage: A robust sustainability assessment provides credible arguments for marketing and sales, strengthens stakeholder and customer trust, and forms the foundation for sustainable product innovation in development.
