Organisational Life Cycle Assessment (O-LCA), is a method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of an organization. This method is used to analyze and reduce the environmental impacts of the activities of organizations.
O-LCA deals with the entire life cycle of an organization’s activities. This life cycle includes the process from the production of products or services to the point where they reach the consumer. This process includes stages such as obtaining materials, production, packaging, distribution, use and waste management.

This process includes stages such as obtaining materials, production, packaging, distribution, use and waste management.
O-LCA considers the use of environmental resources, greenhouse gas emissions, toxic waste, water and energy use, and other environmental impacts when evaluating the environmental impact of organizations.
O-LCA uses many different metrics to evaluate an organization’s environmental performance. These metrics include carbon footprint, water footprint, energy efficiency and material efficiency.
O-LCA is used in conjunction with many different strategies and techniques designed to reduce the environmental impact of organizations. These strategies include energy efficiency, waste management, use of renewable energy and material savings.
O-LCA and Metsims
Metsims offers solutions to put these strategies and techniques into practice. It is especially specialized in energy efficiency, waste management and environmental management system installation. In this way, it enables organizations to act in accordance with O-LCA results and reduce their environmental impact.
For example, an organization may have determined its carbon footprint using the O-LCA method. In line with these results, Metsims can help the organization reduce energy consumption by making recommendations on energy efficiency. In this way, the environmental impact of the organization will be reduced and a contribution to a sustainable future will be provided.

What is O-LCA (Organisational Life Cycle Assessment)?
O-LCA, or Organisational Life Cycle Assessment, is a methodology used to assess the environmental impacts of an organization’s activities, products, or services throughout their entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
Why is O-LCA important for organizations?
O-LCA is important for organizations as it helps them understand the full environmental footprint of their operations, identify hotspots for improvement, make informed decisions to reduce environmental impacts, meet sustainability goals, and communicate transparently with stakeholders.
How is O-LCA different from traditional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
O-LCA differs from traditional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) by focusing specifically on the environmental impacts associated with an organization’s overall activities, rather than just individual products or processes. O-LCA considers the cumulative effects of all organizational operations, making it a more comprehensive assessment tool for sustainability management.
