Assessment of the footprint of products, services or companies
A sustainability audit within your company enables you to better understand the impacts of your activities, by identifying both your strengths and areas of opportunity. Our analysis can be, ISO14040/44, GHG Protocol and SBTi or PEF compliant depending on your needs and requests.
There are two approaches:
- An assessment of your greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint)
- An assessment of the environmental impact of a product, service, or system, taking into account all stages of its life cycle (life cycle assessment—LCA)
- An assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of your product/service, company, or business model from a sustainability perspective
Through these analyses, you will be able to identify the main issues, priority areas of activity, and the first actions to implement.
These various audits can be supplemented by monitoring the strengths and weaknesses of competing solutions and/or assessing the demands and expectations of customers, investors, and other stakeholders.
This information, combined with an understanding of the current challenges facing your business model, will help you shape your sustainability strategy.
Depending on your needs and level of environmental maturity — for example, if you have already completed a carbon footprint assessment — we support you in strengthening and showcasing the environmental performance of your products, services or company through:
- Critical review
- Analysis of specific data
- Methodological support
- Promotion and communication of results
Carbon footprint
Quantification of the carbon footprint of a product, service or company in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
-

Life cycle assessment
Assessment of the environmental impact of a product, service or company, considering all stages of its life cycle.
-
✓ Helps identify areas where a product, service or company can be improved in order to reduce environmental impacts.
✓ Takes into account a range of environmental impacts beyond carbon footprint alone (air, water and soil pollution, resource consumption, ...). Use of the pertinent methodology for your product, service or company (EF 3.1, ReCiPe 2016, etc)
