Life cycle assesment

Understanding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodological approach aimed at evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with a product, from its initial raw material extraction phase to its ultimate disposal as waste.

Setting science-based targets

Combating climate change is a key element of our business and sustainability strategy. Having our climate targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative is a concrete step towards achieving just that.
