Avoid greenwashing

Sustainability claims

To avoid greenwashing claims, conducting a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is crucial, as it enables a thorough evaluation of your product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. Transparency is key throughout this process, we support this with our LCA software by helping you to disclose the data sources, your assumptions, and methodologies used in the assessment. This provides credible evidence for a sustainability claim. Achieve credibility and trustworthiness by getting your product’s LCA results verified by an independent third-party. Ensure that your sustainability claims are firmly grounded and mitigate the risk of greenwashing accusations.
