Beyond carbon: evaluating the complete environmental impact
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most robust scientific methodology for quantifying a product's environmental impact. While Carbon Footprint focuses exclusively on climate impact, LCA allows us to evaluate multiple environmental dimensions simultaneously.
Our LCA model covers all stages under the company's control or influence:
From raw material extraction to manufacture your fertilizers and phytosanitary products.
Agricultural management, irrigation, fuel combustion and soil dynamics.
Reception in packaging, chemical treatments, energy consumption and packaging manufacturing (cardboard, plastics, wood).
Impact categories evaluated by our LCA (ReCiPe 2016 v1.03 midpoint H, with climate from IPCC AR6, plus primary energy from CED)
Impact of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) on local watercourses.
Effect of atmospheric emissions on soil quality.
Efficiency in soil resource use according to its occupation and transformation.
Assessment of chemical compounds impact on human health and ecosystems.
Carbon footprint and other greenhouse gases.
Ozone depletion, photochemical smog formation, etc.
The precision of our LCA reports is based on the strategic combination of both sources
Your Real Data
Real information collected directly from your farms and processing plants.
Ecoinvent 3.12 Database
Connection to the world's most prestigious life cycle inventory database.
LCA is the only tool that guarantees sustainability strategies are real
It allows us to ensure that, for example, a change in packaging type to reduce plastic does not end up increasing carbon footprint due to transport weight, or that a reduction in fertilizer use does not generate soil erosion problems.
