Scaling Sustainability with Configurable LCA Models LIVE
As sustainability reporting and environmental impact assessments scale across complex product portfolios, traditional life cycle assessment (LCA) models quickly become inefficient and unsustainable. This course introduces a modern, scalable approach to LCA: configurable modeling.
Designed for LCA practitioners, this course explores how to create flexible, reusable LCA models that can be adapted across product lines, production sites, or services—without starting from scratch each time. Through hands-on examples and practical guidance, learners will discover how configurable parameters and modular processes can streamline updates, ensure consistency, and enable faster decision-making.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to:
- Understand the limitations of traditional one-off LCA models.
- Determine if your LCA is a good candidate for a configurable model.
- Design and build configurable models that support variability in materials, amounts, processes, and geography.
- Apply scalable modeling practices to increase efficiency and reduce redundancy.
- Maintain consistency in methodology across large product portfolios.
- Future-proof LCA workflows for evolving data and business needs.
Whether you’re building LCAs for bikes, beverages, or buildings, this course provides the tools to transition from isolated models to a system that grows with your business.
