Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment is de leidende methode om de milieuimpact van producten, services of organisaties in kaart te brengen op basis van data en gevestigde wetenschappelijke methodiek. Een LCA geeft inzicht in de huidige milieu-impact en in mogelijke verbeteringen voor verduurzaming van de waardeketen.

Environmental footprinting & LCA
Each product has an impact on the environment, such as CO2, land use and use of resources. Environmental footprinting, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprinting are methods to investigate the environmental impact of products and supply chains. These methods give insights in possible (environmental) improvements in the supply chain.

Footprint reduction
Climate change being one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Society and businesses are looking for ways to define the contours of a sustainable world. Accordingly, more and more companies are joining programs to set sustainability targets.

Methodology & standard development
Environmental standards development
Measuring environmental sustainability can be a big challenge. Moreover, there exist many ways to calculate the environmental impact of a product or product value chain. Different companies use different methods and different background data. This makes it impossible to make fair comparisons between products for instance. It obstructs the way forward to create truly sustainable food systems. To tackle this challenge, we support industries and sectors to develop harmonized environmental calculation rules, based on the latest available international methodologies.
