CALCULATE & UNDERSTAND
Turn life cycle assessment or carbon handprint into business value
Many organizations carry out various assessments, but too often the results stay in the reports without guiding business decisions. We make climate and environmental impacts clear and actionable, supporting decisions, prioritizing actions, and turning insights into business outcomes.
FOR WHOM AND WHEN
Are you in the right place?
If you want to understand the environmental impacts of your products or services holistically – both to reduce them and to identify opportunities for a carbon handprint – you’re in the right place. We provide science‑based, standards‑compliant assessments that quantify impacts and guide practical action.
Calculation that is justified
Climate and environmental impact assessments are conducted in a science‑based and transparent manner. We ensure that the results withstand critical scrutiny and external assurance.
Results that support decision-making
Whether it is an LCA or a carbon handprint assessment, the results are grounded in science and widely applied standards. This ensures that impacts are clearly quantified and that the insights effectively guide practical decision-making and actions.
Insights that can be turned into competitive advantage
A broader assessment of climate and environmental impacts provides valuable insights to support strategic climate work. Forward-looking analysis can help reduce impacts or maximize the carbon handprint, creating sustainable competitive advantage.
PROCESS
Four steps
STEP 1
Definition and scope
Based on your organization’s needs, we define the key environmental impact categories and life cycle stages to be included in the modeling of the product or service. For carbon handprint assessments, we also establish a robust reference case, enabling the positive climate impacts to be credibly demonstrated, even under critical scrutiny.
STEP 2
Modeling
We deliver reliable, science-based assessments of the environmental or climate impacts of your product or service. The results are designed to withstand critical scrutiny and give management the confidence to stand behind their decisions, claims, and communications.
STep 3
Interpretation of results
Where do the most significant environmental impacts arise, and where is the potential for a carbon handprint? A key part of interpreting the results is sensitivity analysis, which helps verify critical assumptions and ensures that the results are robust and can be confidently signed off.
Step 4
Decision-making support and communication
The calculations provide data that can be turned into new business opportunities and guide practical action. Every figure can be explained, every claim substantiated. This gives leadership confidence in decisions and public statements.

Our modeling is based on international LCA standards as well as up-to-date databases and methodologies. The results can be used, for example, to improve the environmental impacts of products and services, demonstrate carbon handprints, and support sustainability claims and reporting.
Frequently asked questions about this service
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to production, use, and end-of-life.
It helps identify the most significant environmental impacts of a product, improve resource efficiency, support decision‑making, and create competitive advantage through sustainability.
The carbon handprint shows how much emissions a company’s solution helps its customers or society reduce compared to an alternative, higher-emission solution
A carbon footprint describes the emissions caused by a company’s activities, whereas a carbon handprint describes the positive impact a product or service creates by helping others reduce their emissions.
A carbon handprint helps demonstrate a company’s positive climate impact in concrete terms. It supports sales and differentiation in the market, while strengthening credible sustainability communication.
NEXT STEP
Turn sustainability requirements into a competitive advantage
Life cycle assessment and carbon handprint analysis make the full impact of your products and services visible and provide a foundation for development actions. For many of our clients, the natural next step is to leverage these insights more broadly in identifying biodiversity footprint impacts, strengthening communication, and engaging partners.
