Finished Products LCA Analysis

The project, in collaboration with SPIN360, aims to study the environmental impacts related to the production of the brand's products and to use the results obtained to identify pathways for reducing their environmental footprint. The central element of the project involves generating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses for three products.

The LCA analysis allows for the identification of critical points, known as hotspots, within the life cycle of the brand's products. These hotspots represent the inputs and outputs that most contribute to generating environmental impacts. Identifying them is therefore crucial in prioritizing actions to be implemented and determining specific areas of intervention to reduce the overall environmental impact of the products.

One of the brand’s key priorities is to understand and quantify the environmental impact of its products. In a context where it is increasingly crucial to be aware of the environmental footprint of purchases, the brand is committed to carefully evaluating its practices.

In particular, the brand aims to actively engage its suppliers in this process. The objective is to start with an initial study based on secondary data, providing a preliminary estimate of the environmental impact of the materials used. Building on these results, the company seeks to establish a dialogue with suppliers to gain a deeper understanding of their production processes.

This approach not only increases the brand’s internal awareness of the environmental impact of processes related to leather production but also aims to raise awareness within its supply chain. By presenting the results obtained, the brand intends to make tanneries and other supply chain actors more conscious of the impact of leather production for its products.

The brand’s ultimate goal is to establish a concrete collaboration with its production chain. Starting with the analysis of three main suppliers, the company intends to identify the phases of the production process that generate the most significant environmental impact. Based on this information, the brand will develop a targeted action plan.

This integrated and scientific approach will enable the brand to measure and understand its environmental performance and to initiate improvement actions both independently and in collaboration with all players in the supply chain, in a market that is increasingly sensitive to these issues.
