We hope this guide has been useful. If you need practical support with LCA or environmental assessment, our team can help.
No project is too big or small. Since 2012, we’ve worked on everything from consumer products and packaging through to entire power stations and industrial facilities. Our experience spans EPDs for construction materials through to full environmental assessments for major infrastructure.
What makes us different is our balance between commercial projects and cutting-edge research. We work on Horizon Europe and Innovate UK projects, bringing LCA expertise to emerging technologies and innovations. At the same time, we conduct complex technical due diligence for investors, help organisations navigate CBAM requirements, and contribute to government reports on sustainability policy. This dual focus keeps us at the forefront of both practical application and methodological development.
We’re also the UK partner of GreenDelta, the developers of openLCA. We champion transparent, auditable LCA modelling using open-source tools rather than black-box software. Our parameter-based modelling approach enables rapid scenario analysis, while our use of the openLCA Collaboration Server provides full version control and audit trails. We apply rigorous data quality assurance through NUSAP methodology, ensuring every assessment stands up to scrutiny.
Beyond consultancy, we empower organisations to build their own capabilities. We provide hands-on CBAM guidance, helping companies understand and implement the requirements themselves rather than creating dependency. Our training courses range from two-hour introductions to intensive week-long programmes, delivered online or in-person, covering everything from LCA fundamentals to advanced environmental reporting.
Based in the North East but working globally, our projects have included Mexico to Morocco, Saudi Arabia to the US, and across Europe. We combine deep technical expertise with practical commercial understanding.
What clients tell us they value most: we speak plainly. No jargon-heavy reports that sit on shelves. No hiding behind complexity. We explain what the numbers mean for your business, what actions you should take, and why it matters. Whether you’re presenting to your board, responding to customer requirements, or making investment decisions, we ensure you understand and can defend every conclusion.
We’re also proud to be actively shaping the future of environmental assessment. Our team contributes to peer reviews academic papers, and regularly presents at conferences. We support our staff pursuing PhDs and advanced research, bridging the gap between consultancy and academia. This isn’t about credentials; it’s about ensuring our clients benefit from the latest thinking before it becomes standard practice.
