The course will show how LCA can be used for compliance but also as a tool to support innovation, evaluate products, guide materials choices, manage sustainability risks and identify new business opportunities.
It covers LCA in the context of sustainability and life cycle thinking, as well as introducing the methodology behind LCA and how to interpret and critically evaluate information produced.
Requests for product environmental information have increased dramatically, and more and more organisations are expected to report on product environmental impacts or make decisions using LCA results.
The training course will help you to:
- What LCA is and why it matters in the context of sustainability, business strategy and innovation.
- The foundation LCA standards (ISO 14040 and 14044) and the rationale behind derivative standards using PCRs, EPDs and PEF.
- How to interpret LCA results critically and understand the implications of methodological choices.
- How LCA can support product innovation pathways, market positioning and strategy development.
-
How to use LCA outputs to engage with customers, regulators, supply chains and internal stakeholders
