Life Cycle Assessment
What impact does a solution have on the environment - in absolute terms or in comparison to an existing system? Which and how many resources are used and how circular are the solutions under consideration? Life cycle assessments, with their consideration of the entire life cycle, enable the impact of new concepts to be discussed holistically, potential rebound effects to be reflected and well-founded decisions to be made accordingly.
Internationally recognized methods of ecological assessment provide decision-makers with the necessary transparency to shape the focused area of action in terms of sustainability. This is based on existing standards and standards in preparation, such as ISO 14040 and 14044, ISO 14064, ISO 14083, the GHG protocol, ISO/TC 323 and ESRS. You receive the relevant information for the internal improvement process as well as information for marketing, reporting and customers. At the same time, the Fraunhofer Institutes provide support in preparing for legal requirements and regulations.
