While clear rules and standards for environmental LCA have existed for many years, corporate sustainability professionals around the world have suffered from the lack of commonly accepted methodologies for 'social LCA.' To respond to that need, PRé Sustainability convened twelve sustainability experts from leading companies – including BASF, BMW Group, DSM, Goodyear, Philips, L'Oréal, Marks&Spencer and Steelcase – in its Roundtable for Product Social Metrics, aiming to make social impact assessment more accessible and meaningful through the development of a handbook containing an explicit, clearly defined set of principles and metrics. Join PRé and L'Oréal for the first public-event presentation of this one-of-a-kind initiative in quantifying social footprints on a product level, followed by an open discussion with the audience.
