Our Offering
Welcome to the world of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an indispensable tool in understanding the environmental impact of products and processes. In an era where sustainability is at the forefront of global concerns, businesses and individuals alike are seeking ways to make informed choices that minimize their ecological footprint.
Life Cycle Assessment, a systematic approach to evaluating the environmental aspects and potential impacts associated with a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle. From raw material extraction to production, distribution, use, and end-of-life disposal, LCA provides a holistic perspective that goes beyond simple assessments of direct impacts.
In an age of interconnected economies and a growing awareness of environmental challenges, businesses are recognizing the importance of adopting sustainable practices. Life Cycle Assessment plays a pivotal role in this journey by offering a scientific and comprehensive methodology for analysing environmental hotspots, identifying opportunities for improvement, and guiding decision-making toward more sustainable outcomes.
As you explore the contents of this website, you will delve into the fundamental principles of Life Cycle Assessment, understand its methodologies, and discover real-world applications across various industries. Whether you are an environmental enthusiast, a business leader, or a policymaker, this resource aims to empower you with the knowledge needed to make informed and environmentally responsible decisions.
Driving Net-zero and Decarbonization
LCA also serves as a tool for driving decarbonization and achieving net-zero emissions by providing a comprehensive understanding of GHG emissions, informing emission reduction strategies, and promoting sustainable practices across the entire value chain. As the world transitions towards a low-carbon economy, LCA will play an increasingly critical role in enabling businesses, governments, and consumers to contribute to a sustainable future.
Join us on a journey to explore the intricate web of environmental interactions that shape the life cycle of products and processes. By understanding and implementing Life Cycle Assessment, we can collectively contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.

Managing Director & CEO
Priyanka Pothana
I am committed to guiding businesses through the pressing demands of sustainability and climate action, turning challenges into pathways for growth. With over three decades in sustainability, our team works to build strategies that integrate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), Product Carbon Footprint analysis, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). We help organizations reduce environmental impacts, meet regulatory standards, and move toward net-zero targets. By focusing on transparency, accountability, and data-driven solutions, we enable companies to lead with purpose, transforming environmental responsibility into a foundation for long-term resilience and sustainable success. Together, we can create value and drive the transition to a low-carbon, climate-positive future.
Our Approach
Goal and Scope: Define the purpose, boundaries, and functional unit of the assessment and specifying what stages and processes are included (e.g., cradle-to-grave).
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI): Gather data on inputs (materials, energy) and outputs (emissions, waste) across each stage of the product life cycle.
Impact Assessment (LCIA): Convert inventory data into environmental impacts across various categories like global warming, resource depletion, and toxicity.
Interpretation: Analyze and validate results, draw conclusions, and identify opportunities for reducing environmental impacts.
