Cooking up an LCA study
There are many advantages to life cycle assessment (LCA). It’s transparent, science-based, and can result in actionable information to reduce your environmental impacts or communicate with customers. However, it can be daunting to get started because there are many different elements to consider. It’s not always obvious how they fit together and what needs your attention. In this article, Marisa Vieira, Principal Consultant, shows that thinking about how to do LCA is not that much more difficult than thinking about how to bake a quiche for dinner.

Taking the next step in sustainable footwear
Each industry and sector has its unique requirements. To scale up the availability of life cycle assessments (LCA) and make LCA more accessible, it is important that more tools are created that serve the needs of specific industries – at affordable prices.

Full transparency about configurable products
Offering your clients environmental information at the point of purchase is crucial for enabling informed and more sustainable purchasing decisions. But what if you’re not selling just any product, but a complex product or system that is configured to each client’s unique specifications? In that case, the standard environmental footprinting approach becomes impractical. It’s simply not feasible to generate reports for every conceivable variation of the product. Recognizing this challenge, Siemens Energy partnered with PRé to develop the EcoTransparency app, designed to accommodate the many different configurations of their energy transmission products.
