The timeline typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on:
• Product or process complexity
• Availability of data
• Scope of analysis (e.g., cradle-to-gate vs. cradle-to-grave)
• Projects requiring comparative analysis or advanced modeling may take longer.
LCA supports compliance with:
• ISO 14040 & 14044
• EU Green Deal & CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)
• India’s EPR Guidelines (Plastic, Battery, E-Waste)
• SEBI BRSR (Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting)
• Voluntary programs like LEED, BREEAM, and GRI reporting
Yes. We conduct Prospective LCA to assess products in the design or prototype stage.
This helps in :
• Select sustainable materials
• Minimize environmental impact during early development
• Optimize for circularity and future compliance
Yes. It reveals process inefficiencies, enables cost savings, supports green branding, and helps meet procurement and ESG expectations.
The duration depends on the airport’s size, complexity, and level of preparedness. On average, the process—from data collection, foot printing, planning, to application— takes 6 to 12 weeks. Higher levels (such as Level 3+ and above) may require additional time due to stakeholder engagement and offset verification.
Level 1 focuses on establishing a GHG emissions baseline. Required data typically includes:
• Electricity and fuel consumption
• Heating and cooling sources
• On-site equipment and vehicle usage
• Emission factors based on GHG Protocol or IPCC Guidelines
This data must be compiled and verified to accurately map Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
No, carbon offsets are only required starting from Level 3+. At this stage, after minimizing emissions, airports must offset their residual Scope 1 and 2 emissions to achieve carbon neutrality. Acceptable offsets should be high-quality and verifiable, such as those certified under Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), or CORSIA-compliant schemes.
• Level 3 (Optimization) focuses on stakeholder engagement and Scope 3 emission management.
• Level 3+ (Neutrality) requires airports to also offset all remaining Scope 1 and 2 emissions, demonstrating full carbon neutrality for controllable sources.
Yes. ISO 14067 provides a verified carbon footprint that forms the foundation for credible carbon neutrality, when combined with emission reductions and certified offsets. For formal claims, it’s often used with PAS 2060.
No, ISO 14067 is voluntary, but it's increasingly recognized in international regulations, corporate ESG strategies, and sustainable procurement policies. Compliance with this standard enhances your credibility, especially in carbon-sensitive markets.
Almost any physical product—from consumer goods and packaging materials to industrial components and food items—can be assessed. The standard applies to both single products and product families, across all sectors.
Yes. It’s published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is globally recognized. It aligns with other climate reporting standards and is accepted by multinational buyers, regulators, and sustainability frameworks.
CDP reporting enhances transparency, supports investor and client expectations, and demonstrates environmental leadership. It is widely used in ESG assessments and sustainable supply chain decisions
CDP supports disclosures in three key areas:
• Climate Change – Emissions, governance, risk, and strategy
• Water Security – Usage, risk management, and stewardship
• Forests – Deforestation risks from key commodities (palm oil, timber, soy, cattle)
CDP reporting demonstrates environmental accountability, enhances stakeholder trust, and improves visibility with investors, customers, and ESG rating agencies. It also supports access to sustainable finance and procurement opportunities
Yes. CDP responses complement and strengthen broader ESG disclosures, and often serve as a foundation for integrated or sustainability reports aligned with GRI, SASB, and BRSR frameworks.
An EPD enhances your brand’s credibility by showcasing verified environmental performance. It opens doors to green building projects, improves chances in government tenders, and aligns your product with global sustainability expectations.
Absolutely. EPDs are increasingly recognized in markets such as the EU, UK, US, and Australia. They serve as proof of compliance with green public procurement.
With expert guidance, the process is smooth and manageable. We provide end-to-end support, from data collection and LCA to third-party verification and final publication—ensuring your compliance journey is efficient and stress-free.
Definitely. EPDs provide quantitative, verifiable impact data that strengthens your ESG metrics, supports SDG alignment, and enhances GRI-based disclosures—building greater confidence among investors, regulatory bodies, clients, and sustainability auditors.
