Sustainability Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA)

Anouk Bertner — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:51:34 -0400

Assessing the sustainability of products

The Natural Step's Sustainability Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) approach helps organisations define, assess and communicate product sustainability. SLCA can be described as an assessment tool and an accompanying process that gives you a strategic overview of the full scope of social and ecological sustainability at the product level. It results in an analysis – using colours instead of numbers – that allows a company to see the major impacts of today’s product through the whole lifecycle in relation to principle requirements of sustainability.
