Sustainability Reporting

Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with a product, process, or service. From raw material extraction to disposal, LCA helps manufacturers and developers quantify carbon footprint, resource use, and pollution. It forms the backbone of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), green certifications, and product sustainability communication in the UAE and MENA region.

Our Approach

We conduct cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave LCA studies using ISO 14040/14044 methodologies and tools like SimaPro or OpenLCA. We work with your production, R&D, and compliance teams to model your product and identify high-impact areas for design and operational improvements.

Why It Matters

LCA provides transparency and competitive advantage. It supports eco-labelling, reduces environmental liability, and helps lower embodied carbon. In regulatory and procurement environments demanding green accountability, LCA makes your product measurable, verifiable, and preferred.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a third-party verified document that communicates the environmental performance of a product, based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). It is essential for sustainable building certifications and public procurement in the MENA region, and especially relevant for CBAM compliance for exports to the EU.

ESG Compliance

ESG Sustainability Reporting is the practice of disclosing an organization’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts, activities, and performance over a specific period. The goal is to provide transparency to stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, and regulators, about how the organization is managing its sustainability-related risks and opportunities. Sustainability reports often cover a range of topics such as carbon emissions, water usage, waste management, labor practices, community engagement, and ethical governance. The report typically includes qualitative and quantitative data, along with an analysis of sustainability goals, progress made, challenges faced, and future commitments.
