Generate product-level environmental insights
Sustainability software, training, and expertise
Industry-Leading Tools
The tools and data behind credible environmental analysis.
Access SimaPro, one of the world’s leading LCA platforms, alongside DATASMART, LTS’s North American life cycle inventory database. Together, they provide the regional specificity, transparency, and data quality needed for LCAs, EPDs, ESG disclosures, EPR programs, and ISSB-aligned reporting. This combination supports more representative modeling of North American supply chains, improving the credibility and defensibility of environmental results. It also helps practitioners move beyond generic datasets to more accurately reflect real-world production systems, energy mixes, and regulatory contexts.
Training & Certificate Programs
Build internal expertise with practitioner-led training.
Learn life cycle assessment, carbon footprinting, EPD development, and sustainability reporting from experienced practitioners. Our training programs go beyond software instruction to develop the methodological skills needed for confident, defensible decision-making. We also offer specialized courses in scaling sustainability programs and sustainability data management, helping organizations build the internal systems needed to support consistent, high-quality reporting over time. Participants gain practical skills that can be applied directly to ESG, EPR, Scope 3, and ISSB-aligned disclosure requirements.
Sustainability Guidance & Reporting Services
When the stakes are high, expertise matters.
From LCAs and EPDs to Scope 3 inventories, ESG reporting, and critical reviews, LTS helps organizations navigate complex sustainability requirements with scientifically rigorous analyses and North American market expertise. Our practitioners bring deep methodological experience and a practical understanding of evolving disclosure expectations across U.S. and Canadian markets. We focus on producing transparent, defensible results that can stand up to regulatory, customer, and third-party scrutiny.
Sustainability Guidance and Solutions
From environmental insight to enterprise-scale sustainability intelligence
Life Cycle Assessment
Generate product-level environmental insights
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a data-driven view of environmental impacts across a product’s life cycle. By evaluating materials, production processes, energy use, distribution, and end-of-life pathways, LCA identifies key impact drivers and improvement opportunities.
LTS supports organizations with practitioner-led expertise, North American-specific data, and ISO-aligned methodology to ensure results are transparent, accurate, and defensible.
Compliance Reporting
Translate LCA data into ESG, EPR & ISSB disclosures
Compliance reporting translates environmental data into structured disclosures aligned with ESG, EPR, and ISSB requirements. It ensures that technical LCA results are converted into credible, audit-ready reporting outputs.
LTS supports organizations in developing transparent, defensible reporting aligned with evolving regulatory and customer expectations.
Sustainability Data Governance
Structure, validate, and control sustainability data
Effective sustainability reporting depends on structured, consistent, and well-governed data. LTS helps organizations establish frameworks that improve data quality, traceability, and accountability across sustainability datasets.
This ensures sustainability data is reliable, scalable, and suitable for both internal decision-making and external reporting.
Reporting Readiness
Prepare systems for scalable disclosure and auditability
Reporting readiness ensures that sustainability data, methodologies, and workflows are structured for consistent and defensible disclosure. LTS supports organizations in aligning internal systems with ESG, EPR, and ISSB-aligned reporting requirements, enabling repeatable and transparent reporting processes. We help translate technical sustainability data into formats suitable for external disclosure, audit, and stakeholder communication, reducing friction as reporting demands continue to evolve.
AI Enablement
Automate workflows using trusted sustainability data
AI enablement builds on strong data governance and reporting foundations to support automation, analytics, and decision support. LTS helps organizations prepare structured sustainability data that can be safely used in AI-driven systems.
This enables faster analysis, improved reporting efficiency, and enhanced sustainability insights without compromising methodological rigor.

Testimonials
“I have earned four LCA and SimaPro certificates (total ten courses) from LTS (formerly EARTHSHIFT). These trainings have provided me a very strong foundation on both the SimPro software and the LCA methodology. The course materials are outstanding and useful. Additionally, the instructor is remarkable, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The education I received from LTS through taking these classes is enormously valuable as it has undoubtedly prepared me to become a sophisticated LCA practitioner.”
“Our recent Life Cycle Assessment of the Denali jacket has helped our product development teams validate the environmental impact reductions achieved through the use of recycled polyester and a new dyeing process which uses up to 50% less water and chemicals and 25% less energy on average versus traditional dyeing methods. Our product development teams can now utilize the learnings from the LCA and quickly evaluate future design changes.”
