Life Cycle Approach to Sustainability: Responsibility from Cradle to Grave Webinar
Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 1:00 - 2:00pm EST
The sustainability wave has given rise to a deeper understanding of the implications of unsustainable business practices, creating a new breed of consumers who demand products that have less impact on the planet. The Life Cycle Approach (LCA) provides a comparison of environmental and social damages assignable to a product. It provides a holistic assessment, considering the impacts of a product from cradle to grave, to enable manufacturers to optimize environmental and social performance.
This webinar focuses on what LCA entails and will discuss best practices, challenges, and compelling factors for adopting it. The LCA landscape in Canada will also be highlighted with industry leaders sharing experiences and insights on how LCA has progressed and can benefit their business.
