Saint-Gobain has been a pioneer in Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), performing its first LCA in 1990 to quantify the impacts of an insulation products. Initially, Saint-Gobain was utilizing various LCA tools across different teams. Since 2013, they’ve worked to scale their LCA solutions and harmonize the tools and practices across all departments. Â
The LCA for Experts tool has enabled them to develop LCA models for multiple product families and use the results for publication of EPDs and eco-innovation. However, LCA experts had plenty of complex tasks on their plate so empowering their non-expert stakeholders to calculate and run their own LCAs and EPDs was the next step in driving sustainability efforts forward. Â
Sphera’s LCA for Experts + LCA Calculator Duo has enabled Saint-Gobain to develop LCA models for multiple product families, use the results for publication of EPDs and eco-innovation, and share those models across the organization.
