11. Why would a company need an LCA?
► Overall – What’s driving their carbon footprint?
► Marketing – Competitive advantage?
► Design - Changes to make product more environmentally
friendly?
► Benchmarking across an industry or across divisions of a
corporation - Who is best/worst; where are they?
► Year-to-year tracking of environmental performance - Are
they getting better or worse?
► Benchmarking between industries - Can product/service
accomplish the same goals with lower environmental impact?
► Policy – Where can they change procedures to get biggest
benefit?
