Upcoming Webinar: 

Leveraging Organizational LCA (O-LCA) as the Foundation of Corporate Sustainability Plans

DATE: September 25, 2025

TIME: 1:00 - 2:00pm EST

PRESENTERS: Miguel Hernandez and Sarah Donovan

Webinar Description

This webinar introduces the fundamentals of O-LCA and explores its role as a foundation for corporate sustainability strategy. It explores the differences between O-LCA and corporate GHG accounting and how O-LCA can provide a robust Scope 3 assessment. When complemented by product-level LCAs, sustainable procurement practices, and Scope 3 emissions management, O-LCA becomes a strategic enabler, driving meaningful improvements across the value chain.
