1.1: Goal

The first step in LCA/PCF is to define the objective of the study. This will help to select the right standards (EPD, PEF, ISO,…) that will define the requirements for the rest of the study.

Why are we doing the study ? Which standard should we follow ?

1.2: Scope

After selecting the standard, we use the right product category rules (PCR, PEFCR, IEC, …) to define the scope of the study.

What do we need to include ?

2: Inventory

Based on our experience, we propose a custom excel-based tool to collect the data and generate the final results and reports.

How to use the data I already have ? How to make sure this work will still be valuable in a year ?

3: Impact assessment

We calculate impacts using the inventory and standard impact categories such as carbon footprint, water use and more …

What does these results mean ? How can we use them ?

4: Interpretation

Together, we dive deep into the results to understand the causes of impact and take meaningful action to improve the solution.

Where does the carbon footprint of my business come from ? How can I reduce it ?
