About this Session
Organizational LCA (O-LCA) expands on the methods used in traditional LCA to assess the impacts of an entire organization including the impacts of its products from cradle to grave. With increased pressure on companies to include Scope 3 impacts in their greenhouse gas accounting, O-LCA provides a structured methodology under the ISO standards to perform a robust assessment that can be refined over time.
This course will serve as an introduction to the basics of O-LCA including system boundaries and how the results relate to Scope 1, 2 and 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We will explain the O-LCA approach and the types of situations when it can best be applied, and share our experience using O-LCA to create benchmarks, develop goals, and create sustainability roadmaps.
