From strategy and concept development to implementation: the milestone of implementation does not mark the end, but just the beginning of recurring loops that serve to continuously optimize products and processes.
In order to make sustainability strategies measurable, comparable, and therefore more tangible, Bertrandt offers its customers comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments – from the initial concept phase to final certification.
– Comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the form of
a comparative assessment or hotspot analysis
– Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
– Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)
At our customers’ request, we can provide advice on defining the framework for a Life Cycle Assessment. It is important to weigh up which methods are suitable for the respective application and to determine the system limits (reference system) within which they are used.
Even at an early stage, we provide support in all preparatory steps and processes, such as data collection and validation. We take responsibility for modeling the life cycle and creating reports in accordance with ISO standards and, as the next step, we support you in the process of certification of the Life Cycle Assessment.
Our experts create Life Cycle Assessments for you in accordance with the specifications of international standards and guidelines, e.g. ISO 14040/14044 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, as a neutral third party.
For the purpose of modeling, we use freely available tools such as Open LCA and are equally familiar with the application of commercial software products such as GaBi. On request, we can also provide support in the development of individual IT solutions, for example on the basis of Ecoinvent databases.
