SETAC Europe 2023: Three key takeaways, and what we’re doing about them
Three main challenges are defining the fact-based sustainability world right now: data, standardization and collaboration. At PRé, we’re already working on the key next steps.

With the demand for food on the rise to feed growing populations, a systemic shift in agri-food is a must, and LCA have a key role to play in enabling it.
Product environmental footprint (PEF) Environmental performance monitoring Harmonizing LCA rules
PRé is taking a data-driven approach to helping the FSI meet one of its objectives under FSI 2025: to minimize the carbon footprint of certain products in the floriculture sector.
The environmental footprint pilot phase is complete. We’re now in a transition phase - the ideal chance to get your business set up for environmental footprinting.
Product environmental footprint (PEF) Harmonizing LCA rules Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR)
In a consortium representing the horticultural sector, PRé helped develop the Hortifootprint category rules, an environmental footprinting methodology.
Horticultural products are in increasing demand, and so is a good methodology for measuring their complete environmental footprint. A new methodology now provides that capability.
With the new Environmental Footprint database set in SimaPro, you can get started with assessing the environmental footprint of your organisation and products free of charge – 3200 datasets, 2 OEFSRs and 19 PEFCRs.
SimaPro Product environmental footprint (PEF)
For a trade organization in the construction sector, PRé analyzed three products according to the new PEF standards and compared them to older analyses. This is a great way to learn and benefit.
SimaPro Life cycle assessment Product environmental footprint (PEF)
The EU’s Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method may also have benefits for non-EU countries. For UNIDO, PRé helped build PEF capacity in countries in the Southern Mediterranean region.

Supporting the European Commission’s product environmental footprint initiative, PRé served as technical helpdesk and trainers for the pilot phase, gaining valuable experience in complex alignment projects.
