Why companies choose LiveCycle

User interface of the LiveCycle platform interface showing a clean, modern dashboard with environmental impact results, charts, and data visualization tools for life cycle assessment.

GaBi, now part of Sphera, has long set the benchmark for robust, science-based Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) that meet international standards and certification requirements.

But as sustainability becomes central to business strategy, organizations need more than accurate modeling they need dynamic, connected insights that can be shared, scaled, and acted on continuously.

LiveCycle builds on that foundation, offering the same scientific rigor with a modern, business-focused approach designed for today’s data-driven teams:

  • Engages suppliers for accurate primary data
  • Shares sustainability results directly with customers in a clear, credible way
  • Scales LCAs across 100% of SKUs for a complete environmental picture
