Get invaluable insights into the social, economic and environmental impact of your initiatives

Via this article we are proud to present our Impact Assessment Services, a comprehensive suite designed to provide you with invaluable insights into the social, economic, and environmental impact of your initiatives. This service is not just about measurement; it's about empowering you to make strategic, quantified decisions that will shape the future of your innovation journey.

Unlocking insights for informed decisions

Our Impact Assessment Services encompass a range of specialized evaluations, such as:

• Socio-economic Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA): determine the economic viability of your project or policy by weighing costs against benefits. Our CBA provides decision-makers with a clear understanding of the project's financial and socio-economic feasibility.
• GHG-Calculation: understand and model all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with your product or service, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Our calculations allow you to demonstrate the climate impact of your project, contributing to sustainability goals.
• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): gain a holistic view of the environmental impact of your product or service. Our LCA delves into various environmental impact categories, including climate change, ecotoxicity, water, fossil and mineral scarcities, eutrophication, and land use. In this way, providing insight into hotspots for sustainable innovation throughout the value chain.

Relevance for innovation and investment projects

Our services offer you a deep dive into the impact of your innovation and investment projects. This insight is pivotal for making informed decisions that align with your strategic goals and societal responsibilities.
