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.

Most LCA tools deliver advanced modeling and compliance features. LiveCycle goes further, designed to maximize the business value of LCA without compromising on accuracy.

Instead of limiting LCA to expert-only modeling, LiveCycle offers a great Simapro alternative by scaling sustainability across your business:

  • Integrate seamlessly with existing systems and processes for 100% up-to-date SKU coverage (with unlimited users across all teams).
  • Engage suppliers directly to capture the latest, most reliable, primary data.
  • Share results clearly and credibly with customers and other stakeholders.

This is how LiveCycle transforms LCAs from isolated studies into a living, business-wide sustainability system.
