| This seminar series can include up to three sessions: |
|
- LCA 411: Selecting Resources & Setting up Your Program
Life Cycle Assessment is a tremendous tool that can be a vital part of your decision making process. However, integrating LCA into your business practices and setting up a life cycle program of your own can be challenging. This session will guide you through the process by reviewing the concepts of life cycle thinking, life cycle assessment (LCA) principles and uses, internal and external resources needed, and organizational structures needed to establish a successful program.
- LCA as a Decision-Making Tool
Once you have begun the integration process, questions often arise on how to apply information from an LCA to various decision-making contexts. This session will focus on how to use LCA results as part of corporate policy, including: developing a decision-making toolbox of resources, determining appropriate use of impacts, communicating LCA results to decision makers, working with your supply chain, establishing priorities based on LCA results, and using LCA in strategic planning.
- Communicating the Value of LCA and Product Certification to the Marketplace
This session will help sales and marketing staff accurately and effectively communicate your sustainable product achievements. Building on their work in developing The Green Guide Matrix of Product Certification Programs and The EcoList, the presenters will provide a conceptual framework, appropriate language and a description of LCA communication and the metrics used in each type of certification.
