Improved LCA Logistic Calculations Modelling
LCA feature update: Sustainability managers using the Product Lifecycle Assessment solution developed by Sustainable Brand Platform can now benefit from an improved logistic calculation model that increases the accuracy of upstream and downstream environmental KPIs.
New Product LCA Calculation Features
- Upstream/downstream logistics: Go deeper into the process calculations with added upstream/downstream data collection logistics.
- Distribution Mix choice: Set your distribution mix for your collections (B2B/B2C/D2C) for enhanced logistic calculation accuracy results
New Implementation: Upstream/Downstream Logistics
To increase the accuracy of environmental distribution analysis we enhanced the upstream and downstream logistics.
- Upstream Logistics: covers all the steps from raw materials to the manufacturer(s) during the production chain
- Downstream Logistics: covers all the steps from the manufacturer(s) to the retailer/wholesale and end-consumer
For Upstream Logistics, all material processes can be automatically matched with a tier 4-3-2-1 supplier. When the platform detects a different supplier from two consequential processes, it requests the transport method between them.

New Company Setting: Distribution Mix
From now on, the platform allows the attribution of the product distribution mix at company and product level, specifying how products are distributed (B2B, B2C and D2C) and in which countries. Setting the distribution mix will enable and enhance the accuracy of downstream logistic results.
The distribution mix can be adapted at any time to reflect the current company situation. For example, a fashion brand that normally sells 60% of its goods to a retailer (B2B) and 40% of its goods via its e-commerce website (B2C) could adapt its distribution mix a few times a year by adding a special collection that is sold directly to the customer (D2C).

Take your LCA to the Next Level
Our Product LCA tool is specifically designed for fashion brands to measure their products’ environmental footprint based on the ISO, EPD or PEF framework and it fully complies with the French AGEC legislation.
Clients can choose the framework and system boundaries such as cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave when conducting their Product LCA with us and individually or bulk import all products or collections to be calculated.
Intuitive and extensive data analytics at a single product or collection level paired with benchmark & comparison analytics help sustainability managers understand how they perform across multiple environmental indicators to reduce and report their impacts.
