Why companies choose LiveCycle over traditional tools like SimaPro

Like SimaPro, we understand the need for accurate, science-based Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) that meet the highest standards regarding certifications.

SimaPro has been a trusted choice for many sustainability professionals, but today’s businesses need continuous up-to-date LCA insights that can be used for different business purposes.

‍
LiveCycle delivers the same depth of analysis with a more automated and business-oriented experience, that:

  • 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
