When resources are limited and consumers’ making-decision is driven by both environmental awareness and price, businesses need to account for their environmental and social impacts accurately and develop new ways to communicate the sustainability message to consumers and key stakeholders. Life Cycle Analysis is now an essential tool to help companies to move towards sustainable production and consumption, as well as to achieve financial return.
The 8th event in our Global Sustainability Series, the LCA Sustainable Supply Chain Europe Summit has evolved to meet the more sophisticated requirements of today’s CSR and Environmental Affairs Strategists, who are charged with creating more reporting transparency and reducing costs. Based on feedback from the previous seven events and detailed new research this event will provide a truly unique guide to Life Cycle Analysis and the opportunity to learn how this tool can work as part of an overall sustainability strategy. This two-day summit offers a diverse, yet focused perspective for companies in the consumer goods industry.
Day One of the Summit will look at how to account for impacts throughout the life cycle and creating transparency through standards, while Day Two will look into specific areas of the life cycle and show how companies have been successful in reducing their impacts in those areas.

When a multitude of regulations and standards are being issued by different governments, authorities and standards bodies, European companies (and organisations with operations in Europe) urgently require clarity on future national and EU legal requirements relating to sustainability. The LCA Sustainable Supply Chain Europe Summit features a dedicated regulatory panel session where European policy-makers and government bodies will outline the future plans on sustainability legislation and their initiatives to harmonize the standards, including the EU Eco-label.
