Last June, I completed a course on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with the LCA Academy, My main interest was to expand my knowledge of the LCA onto responsible sourcing and measuring environmental impacts of regenerative agriculture products. I've found the facilitators very knowledgeable and keen to offer additional views and experiences based on real-life cases that made the brainstorming sessions meaningful and impactful. This was definitely a great LCA training that helped me understand how products, their production system and supply chain decisions can affect the environment across their entire life cycle.

We want to grow from distributor to trusted sustainability advisor for our customers - and that requires a solid understanding of environmental impacts across the full life cycle of packaging solutions. Building our own LCA database is therefore a strategic step forward. The Bright Wolves training, combined with LiveCycle, offered a clear and practical introduction to LCA, PEF and hotspot analysis, while honestly addressing the complexity behind it. It strengthenes our ambition to make data-driven sustainability decisions more accessible, collaborative and actionable in our daily business.
