LCA Studio – Life Cycle Assessment studies

Enabling sustainability

About us

We are an expert team focused on performing LCA studies, creating environmental product declarations (EPD), verifying EPDs for The International EPD System, as well as creating documents for Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and Organization Environmental Footprint (OEF) declarations. We also provide life cycle based environmental data for GRI standard reporting.

Thanks to the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology, we can determine the environmental impacts of products, products, services, and organizations. Furthermore, this methodology is used to calculate carbon footprint or to process environmental product declarations according to ČSN EN ISO 14025. The results of an LCA study can also serve to reduce the environmental impact of companies, to communicate with the customer, to increase competitiveness or for development and research. This way, we can minimize the negative impacts on the environment and choose the right steps for a better future.

Our company has a certified the Management System according to ČSN EN ISO 9001:2016 for the scope Performing and delivery of studies on Sustainability, LCA, Environmental Impacts including Carbon Footprint and related consulting activities.

LCA methodology

The main benefit of the LCA analytical method is its ability to transform aggregate data (often extensive) on emissions, energy consumption or fuel requirements into a clear set of environmental indicators or a footprint.

Tailored approach

Our studies are always based on site-specific data. We use our own data inputs for electricity generation, waste management (landfilling and energy recovery of waste) or wastewater treatment localized for the Czech Republic. We only use foreign database entries in justified cases.

Expert team

Our team consists of experts in many fields who have extensive experience in both academia and business. Through experience not only with the projects of our existing clients, but also via working on national and international research and development projects, we can offer adequate knowledge, skills, and experience in the field of LCA and sustainability for even the most demanding projects.
