Résumé : |
At the recent Association Pour l'Assurance Qualité des Fabricants De Bracelets Cuir (AQC) multi-stakeholder meeting held in November 2022, one of the topics discussed was the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) by retailers and brands.
The fundamental reason why a company would want to do an LCA is simple. The LCA can give a company an understanding of what environmental ipacts occur during normal operation (as a whole company) or it can drill down into the individual implications of what production coices have on the overall impacts of a product. Specific product impact values can be communicated to end-users or brands to help with their procurement decision-making.
As an internal tool, knowing the specific values for a specific product can be highly beneficial. The creation of low-carbon or lower impact products will result in more sustainable companies. Obviously, the marketability of these lower impact products is higher. Consumers seem to progressively want lower impact products and are actively making decisions against high impact products. |
