Why should I take this course?

Combining fundamental concepts, international standards, practical case studies, and software-based exercises, this course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct Life Cycle Assessments and apply life cycle thinking to support sustainability and environmental decision-making.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a widely recognized methodology for evaluating the environmental impacts of products, services, and systems throughout their entire life cycle. By adopting a life cycle thinking approach, organizations can better understand environmental hotspots, compare alternative solutions, and make informed decisions that support sustainability goals and resource efficiency.

Participants will learn the key stages of an LCA study based on the ISO 14040 framework, including Goal and Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory Analysis, Impact Assessment, and Interpretation. The course also explores different environmental footprint methodologies and provides hands-on experience using industry-standard LCA software such as SimaPro or GaBi.
