Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for measuring the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life cycle, from raw material extraction to production, use, and disposal. It combines quantitative data from different sources to identify and assess the potential environmental effects of various activities. The main purpose of LCA is to enable businesses to reduce their environmental impact and improve their sustainability performance.

This course will provide an introduction to the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 14040 and 14044, which promote environmental management through life-cycle assessment (LCA). Participants will gain insight into LCA principles and concepts, learn how to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, and understand how to use the information to identify opportunities for improvement. The course will also cover key requirements of ISO 14040/44, including data collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting.By the end of this training session, participants should be able to assess the sustainability performance of their operations in accordance with ISO standards.
