Building Connected Sustainability Systems: From SimaPro to LCA, Reporting, and Strategy

June 5, 2026

When organizations invest in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software, they are not simply purchasing a tool, they are investing in their ability to make informed sustainability decisions. While SimaPro is one of the world’s leading LCA platforms, successful implementation requires more than software access. It requires the right data, training, technical support, and expert guidance.

As the North American distributor of SimaPro, we provide more than a software license. Purchasing SimaPro through our team means gaining access to a dedicated group of LCA practitioners and sustainability professionals who are committed to helping you succeed. Our goal is not just to get the software installed; it’s to ensure that your team can confidently use SimaPro to answer meaningful sustainability questions and generate credible results.

Whether you are new to life cycle assessment or expanding an established sustainability program, we provide the resources and expertise needed to maximize the value of your investment:

  • Access to the DATASMART Database. One of the key benefits of working with us is access to the DATASMART Life Cycle Inventory Database. DATASMART contains more than 8,200 processes and is uniquely tailored to North American applications, incorporating US and Canadian energy grid data. This enables practitioners to build more regionally representative models and improve the relevance of their assessments. For organizations conducting LCAs in North America, access to high-quality regionalized data can significantly improve both efficiency and confidence in project results.
  • Personalized SimaPro Training. Learning a powerful LCA platform can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we provide hands-on training designed to help users quickly build confidence and competence within SimaPro. Rather than relying solely on generic training materials, participants have the opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners who understand real-world LCA challenges.
    Our training programs focus on practical application, helping users understand:

    • Project setup and model development
    • Data selection and management
    • Impact assessment methodologies
    • Interpretation of results
    • Best practices for efficient workflow management
  • US-Based Technical Support. Questions inevitably arise when implementing new software. Our clients receive dedicated technical support from a North American team that understands both the software and the practical realities of conducting LCAs. In addition to dedicated onboarding support, our team remains available to provide responsive assistance during U.S. business hours.
    Support includes assistance with:

    • Software installation and licensing
    • Troubleshooting technical issues
    • Database management
    • Model configuration questions
    • General SimaPro functionality
  • Expert LCA Guidance. Perhaps the greatest advantage of working with our team is direct access to LCA expertise. Many challenges in life cycle assessment are not software problems, they are methodological questions. Which database should be used? How should allocation be handled? What impact assessment method is most appropriate? How should results be interpreted and communicated? Our clients have the opportunity to work directly with experienced LCA practitioners who can help navigate these decisions and avoid common pitfalls. This guidance can save valuable time, improve study quality, and increase confidence in results.

Beyond SimaPro: Access to a Full-Service Sustainability Consulting Team

While many organizations initially come to us for SimaPro, they often discover that our greatest value extends far beyond software licensing and support. As a sustainability consulting firm, we help organizations navigate complex environmental challenges, develop credible sustainability strategies, and generate actionable insights through life cycle assessment. Our team brings practical experience across a wide range of industries and sustainability initiatives, allowing us to support clients at every stage of their journey. Our consulting services include:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Life Cycle Assessment provides a comprehensive, data-driven view of environmental impacts across a product or system’s entire life cycle. LTS supports organizations with practitioner-led expertise, North American-specific datasets, and ISO-aligned methodologies to ensure results are transparent, consistent, and defensible.
  • Carbon Accounting: LTS supports both product-level carbon footprints and organizational greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions assessments. Our approach is grounded in life cycle thinking and aligned with GHG Protocol and emerging disclosure requirements.
  • Climate Reporting: LTS helps organizations translate environmental data into structured ESG, EPR, ISSB, and product-level disclosures. We ensure reporting is transparent, audit-ready, and aligned with evolving regulatory and customer expectations.
  • Product Environmental Footprinting: Product Environmental Footprinting evaluates multiple environmental impact categories across a product’s full life cycle using LCA methods. LTS supports alignment with EU PEF, OEF, and EF 3.1 frameworks for consistent and credible assessment.
  • Sustainability Data Governance: LTS helps organizations establish structured governance frameworks that improve consistency, traceability, and quality of sustainability data. This ensures environmental data is reliable and scalable across reporting and decision-making systems.
  • Reporting Readiness: LTS designs reporting systems that transform structured sustainability data into repeatable ESG, EPR, and ISSB-aligned disclosures. This reduces reporting burden while improving consistency and auditability.
  • Sustainability Strategy & Program Design: LTS helps organizations connect sustainability initiatives into a unified program spanning LCA, carbon accounting, reporting, and governance. This enables scalable sustainability capability across teams and business units.
