The Business Case for Product Sustainability

Through Life Cycle Asessment Tata Steel is able to understand the impacts and benefits across the life cycle.

Using Sphera’s Life Cycle Assessment Software (GaBi Software), Tata Steel’s sustainability team can build product models covering environmental impacts such as energy use, carbon emissions, water consumption and material usage.

Life Cycle Assessment studies help Tata Steel understand how steel performs compared to other materials and assists them to identify hot spots in the steel value chain. Additionally Tata uses LCA studies as a marketing tool to support its supply chains.
