Consistent LCA standards

The project aims to make standards for life cycle assessment (LCA) and carbon footprint calculations clearer and less contradictory. This applies both within ISO’s family of LCA-related standards and between ISO and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

We build knowledge and shared insights through interviews, analyses of the standards, and case studies. Our conclusions and recommendations are fed into the standardization process. In this way, we contribute to making LCA and carbon footprint calculations more effective tools, facilitating the industry’s transition efforts.
